[mountainman70]

Hi Gents;where can I get a silver or iron touch hole pick and holder for a f/l rifle I am building?I am looking for the one that is installed under the cheek rest on long rifle.Thanks,Dave

I made these two - the first on a Bedford rifle, out of sheet silver, the second on a Lehigh rifle out of turned brass rod.  Making the tapered hole in the tapered tube was the hardest  (and most interesting and satisfying) part.

  I made this one from sterling silver sheet.

If it is a simple or iron mounted southern rifle, three wire staples/loops directly beneath the cheekpiece were not uncommon.

  I copied mine after the one MLBS sells. Unless things have changed, theirs are nickel silver.
