That is a nice rifle.  I have had a Mountain rifle since the early 70's.

Very graceful looking piece. Am I seeing a bulge at the entry pipe?

Give us some more details!

Thanks for posting the pics.

Sorry for the quick posting....details: barrel is a Rayl 36 stright barrel that is 13/16's. Lock is a modified L&R Durs Egg, triggers are modified Davis, guard and butplate are forged from angle iron and round stock. Nosecasp is a poured pewter nosecap, the front sight is made from a silver quarter, pipes are handmade and the entry pipe is a two piece affair that has a bump out that emulates those that you see on a Brown Bess, but not so large. Just trying something a little different and I'm glad to see somebody saw that.

Handsomely done, John. Nice color, great look. I'm impressed at how many of the parts you made. I like what I see.

Helpful hint: You gotta quit hanging around with that bearded weirdo. You know who I mean.

Wait, he doesn't hang out with me. Oh, some other bearded weirdo... But he certainly can if he brings that rifle along.

Gaeckle (or anybody), a couple questions:

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the particular style of that stock? Very distinctive and angular.

I'm assuming the spoon shaped depression is a tallow hole, but am I assuming right? It seems like the stuff would run out or get dislodged.

Sweet piece of work.
