Rob,
That's a very pleasing half stock . It should fit in nice with your collection.  I've been looking for a nice one also.
I'm glad to see you haven't lost your touch.  Jim

It goes well with Shrecks since I think he forged that patent breech

The engraving really stands out on a plain gun . It adds some glass to a rifle that might not get as much attention  other wise. Thanks for posting again. I'm glad it's in your barn.

 :) :) :)... As  somewhat a mountain fiddle player myself, I really enjoyed this read,... history of these old fiddle-makers is just as rare and  interesting as the old gunsmiths,... Thank you for this intriguing link, Shreck,... !!! ... CCF...
