Go to that same "Contemporary Makers Blogspot" site that Ken posted the link to and do searches for "Ian Pratt", "Hershel House", "Roger Sells" and "Ken Guy"- that ought to get you started.  There are others as well.

Good luck

I didn't read to the end.  Curly Ash AND Curly Maple.  In that case the blog is the place to go as suggested.
There's a few on my website.

This one has a curly maple stock, stained dark, which hides the grain structure.  Some day, I'll re-finish it in AF.

Ron, Thanks for posting the photos would you mind posting some more of the two rifles, if possible the lock and patchbox side of each gun.

Many Thanks

Hi Bart,

I added a pic of the lock of each rifle and a link to more pics of each rifle, if you want to see them.  Neither rifle has a patchbox.
