Finished F. klette Style Rifle (continuation of the “a little silver work” threa
« on: May 01, 2025, 11:58:41 PM »
This is the right handed rifle of a pair that I am making for a client. The other rifle is left handed and I have it built but not carved and decorated. They are going to a pair of brothers ordered by their Grandfather.

That's a grand looking rifle, and the right/left pair will be stunning!
Lucky Grandsons too!

Superb craftsmanship for sure and I hope it's a big surprise to that grandfather.we have 3 grandsons and I doubt if any of them know which end of the hammer to use on the nail.

IF I could run really fast, there is a very slim chance I could have me it out the door of Jim's shop with this rifle, but Jim would have shot me in the parking lot!

It is so much better in person, slim, perfect architecture, seamless inletting, engraving & wire work. It fits me perfectly (hint). I hope Jim brings it to CLA 'cause it surely impressive.

Ask Jim for more photos, they are worth studying.
