Hi,
The relative plainess of the wood makes that artistry all the more noticeable.  It is a brilliant choice.  I can look at Jim's guns for hours absorbing the superior designs and the attention to detail.  What I admire most is that all of it is planned and executed with purpose.  He is a complete master of his art and craft.  What a great gun!!

Love that work by the ramrod inlet pipe.   Beautiful rifle, a carving masterpiece!
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

The elegance of design and excellence of execution make this the quintessence of the art of the American Longrifle. It is truly a masterpiece.

Now what is the little hole or key or something under the cheekpiece??  Puzzled me to death!!

Thanks guys :)  This is a gun that I made two or three years ago.  Glad you enjoyed seeing it.  I think what you're looking at is just a bit of leaf, Tim.

Thanks again,
Jim
