Ash stock? Certainly is the most curly ash stock if it is. What's the "Brennan Blog?"

Is the metal trim along the comb modeled after any original examples from the 18th or 19th century?

Regardless, it's a nice looking rifle.   I mean, I wouldn't kick it out of the safe for dripping Ballistol...

Guns attributed to Tennessee gunsmith Elbert Bible have long returns on comb, and rear entry pipes. I really like this rifle. The wood is outstanding.

There is also a swivel breach rifle in the ALR library by Amos Bisbing of PA that is silver mounted with a long comb plate. The triggerguard also looks somewhat NC. 081228-4

This rifle was built by Jeff Tebay who is a Rifle Builder, Blacksmith. He also is a Lock Assembler for Jim Chambers. It is stocked in an excellent piece of curly Ash. He is located in Harrisville PA.

That's a magnificent Appalachian/Tn rifle.  That stock is definitely a head turner.  I particularly like the fact that it doesn't have that hole drilled in the side of the butt stock.

  That rifle boy's is one of my favorites. An I think at the Tennessee show my friend Duprey. Just might be bringing a stock or two of curly ash like that for sale. He did last year an he still has a couple left. Oldtravler

Outstanding Southern rifle! Great architecture and fine furniture everywhere and the ash stock puts it over the top. Love it.

That's a nice gun I like how the tip of the barrel has engravings on it.

Quite distinctive to say the least.

I like it a lot, and there's a whole lot to like.

The attention to detail is wonderful, as is that lovely piece of Ash.
