Isaac Haines Kit complete
« on: May 03, 2022, 09:03:43 PM »
Got some time to kill on a cold rainy day in Michigan (again)! This is an Isaac Haines rifle I completed in March from a Chambers kit. It is a .54 caliber x 38" Rice barrel and Deluxe Siler flintlock. I combined elements from several different Haines rifles of the period.
This project started a long discussion here earlier, on the challenges faced with kit guns. I got all the kinks worked out just fine, but I still prefer to work from a blank!
Feel free to question or comment!















These following pics show it with a darker, final stain as requested by my customer.

Nicely done, Tom!  Rocking’ the carving and engraving, certainly captured the Haines style.  Best,
