Lets see those TRS builds!
« on: November 12, 2022, 06:18:07 AM »
Anyone got any before and after pictures of their Rifle Shoppe builds? Just thought it would be fun to see the different kits they supply at the beginning and the end.

Many years ago I had a fine Derringer 54 caliber rifle that had been converted to percussion and it was a fine shooting rifle.I used the 54 caliber Lyman Hollow Base and about 80 grains of DuPont 3fg.Thanks for posting this reminder of a long ago time.

Here is TRS’s model 1800 serial number 15 prototype of the 1803 Harper’s Ferry. Fun build and Jess always had some good insight regarding these early 1803’s

Wasn't this a TRS kit, Taylor?





Yes, that is TRS' Ferguson rifle in .65 cal.  It features an English walnut stock.

I just discovered that the library has the complete set of the Sharp's Rifles series and have started reading them.  I had previously watched the series on PBS.

Daryl,
Yeah, it sure is pretty, probably a bit over the top for a musket build, but that is what came from TRS.

That’s very nice. I love the way the metal has been finished, bespeaks long service in the damp, swampy regions of New England. Having grown up in Middleboro in Plymouth county, a town very much on the frontlines of that conflict, that piece really hits home!
