Colonial rifle I just finished (added a few pictures)
« on: April 14, 2025, 03:30:25 AM »
I enjoyed assembling this kit. I added Davis #4 set triggers. First time engraving on real gun parts ;D. I know it's simple engraving in comparison to some of the work on here , but I'm happy with how it turned out. I also built a damp box based on Bivens design for rusting the metal parts, It worked pretty well.

Thanks for looking.

Carving is cleanly executed. I’d like to see the cheekpiece side, too.

Nice work on the overall finish. I’d try for some curves in your nice engraving to mirror your excellent carving.
Cheers Richard
