The feather gun
« on: November 19, 2009, 03:00:16 AM »
I know this has been discussed here before. I did a search and very little came up. All I'm looking for are pictures.  I've never seen the gun and a recent conversation piqued my interest. Anybody have any pics they could post or send me?

Thanks,
Bill

If I am not mistaken the feather gun is highly similar to the one Tallbear recently made and showed here  http://americanlongrifles.org/forum/index.php?topic=7346.0

Bill,
I sent you photo's that I do not have permission to post. Fred Miller has the pattern and Ed Rayl has the pattern for the barrel. Early Ketland lock can be made to look like original lock but is a little longer than original. Kind of unusual rifle with a funky cheek rest.

Reaves Goering (I never can spell his name correctly) has the trigger guard and buttplate castings also.  If you cannot find enough photos, email me, I have some also.  This is a really neat rifle.
