Real nice looking!  Those trigger guards look like alot of work.  Do you plan to
age the iron work?

Thanks for the compliments. The iron has been slighty aged. Its hard to see in the pictures. I just took them today and the sunlight wasn't too bright but still shined on the metal: they aren't as bright as they look. I may age it more yet, but I'm going to leave that up to the owner. I think I have almost as much time on that guard as the rest of the rifle

Thanks for fixing the picture problem Dennis. One of these days I may figure out these things

Fergit tryin' ta figure out the picture thing,continue to make NICE gun's! That's a beauty! Not much NOT to like on this one. Even though I am not a fan of poured nose caps at all,that one is nice. Along with that wonderful sideplate. Good job!

Nice work!  The wood to metal fit looks really nice to me.  I agree about the nice color and the grain.  That is one well done rifle.  The new owner will walk proud when he carries that rifle.

The barrel is a Rice A weight Southern classic, 42" 45 caliber. The side plate is somewhat patterned off of one of the Appalachian rifles in the North Carolina Book. I like the double box also, and I believe the "stake in" release springs are one of the most reliable releases once fine tuned
