A Gun For A Friend
« on: December 10, 2010, 09:29:46 AM »
16 years ago a friend came to me with a bunch of parts and asked me to build him a nice gun.
These pics are the end result. The gun is showing that it has been used a lot in 16 years.

Nice gun, Greybeard.  I especially like the extension of the buttplate on the comb.

Hi,
Would you neeed a new/old friend?
That is a fine looking rifle.
The rifle has aged well, and yet the carving brings the rifle, as being a classic of yesterday.
Congradulations!~

Nice work Greybeard!  It's been well cared for and has a nice patina.
