I was going to say exactly what t caster said above.  Very believable looking piece of the period.  Ya done good!

Beautifully done, and it shows a great creative mind.  The engraving and carving, based on Squire Boone's own artwork, is remarkable!

I'll bet it's a shooter, too!

Can you provide any of the other dimensions, such as length of pull, and maybe the overall weight?

That barrel is a 35” swamped 50 cal. 15/16” at the breech, 7/8” at the muzzle. A typical 13 1/2” pull. I haven’t weighed it but would guess it is on the heavy side of 7 1/2 lbs.

Nice execution of a great concept.  Some very interesting and Boone-like touches.  I have a Tim Albert and Tim Crosby copy of the D. Boone  hunting pouch and horn.   I am going to need a couple of raffel tickets :-)

Well done Wayne! I like everything about this rifle, and I’ll certainly be interested in a couple tickets when they’re available

I’ll be presenting the gun to the folks at The Fort Boonesboro Foundation today. I’d say that they will be selling tickets in a month or so.
