Well, here goes nuthin.
Just finished this one and would like some feedback on it as the closest I've ever been to an actual Bedford is pics in books, and some things I just couldn't tell from that. Sixth gun so far, but this is the first one I've done all the way from a plank by myself, hand inletting the barrel and drilling the ramrod hole. Okay, I can say I've done it now, but that's a lot of extra work when Fred Miller is only a few days away by mail or 4 hours by Jeep! Found one in the Bedford book that didn't have a ton of drop so it would fit the wood I had, scaled up the patterns from the pics, but other than that not a copy of any one particular gun. .54 Getz ultralight 7/8" barrel (got it off here from RDillon last year), L&R lock, sugar maple, made my own toeplate and sterling inlays from sheet. Nice light hunting gun, and very accurate when I sighted it in. Made as a gift for my old college roommate who lives in Union Township, PA right on the Bedford Co line.
