Reedy rifle

[Jerry V Lape]

Where might I get a scale drawing of a Reedy rifle? Want to build one from a blank and expect a scale drawing will help me greatly.

Let me check in my shop, I think I may have one. No guarantee though.

I was at the dedication ceremony of the Leonard Reedy historical marker placed in from of his homestead in Gratz, Pennsylvania a few years ago. Really interesting affair. Had to go, seeing how I'm into building longrifles and Gratz is only 10 minutes from my home.

 Dave Keck at Knob Mountain might have one, He does have a Figthorn, Reedy profile stock you can get. I plan on getting one for a Rice "C" weight .50 Ready profile barrel I bought recently.

Brad,

I drove up to Gratz for that dedication.  As I recall it rained pretty hard that day.

[LehighBrad]

Yes Karl....it did indeed!! Had on my new elk hide mocs....first time they got soaked good!!! I was asked to attend in period attire by a co-workers father, who was there filming the event for the Gratz historical society. Even managed to get myself put on a CD that was made commemorating the whole affair. Not to hijack this thread but, I don't recall if there were blueprints of Reedy's rifles available there or not.

Reedy is one of my favorite rifles. I too would love to have a scaled drawing.

I thought that Curtis posted some information on this forum several months ago that Jack Brooks was going to or had available a Reedy rifle print.  I can't remember which prints were complete and which prints Jack was still working on.  Maybe somebody can update us.

Brad,

I recall some locally owned originals came out for display that day, but I don't remember anything for sale but food.

Talk to Bob Reader, he built a beautiful Reedy.

[Jerry V Lape]

Tricorn,  I cannot find Bob Reader on the members list, perhaps he goes by a different handle.  Appreciate your suggestion and if you know how to contact him that would help too.

[greybeard]

That would be me!!!    bob

David,

I went through my old emails from Jack pertaining to his gun drawings and I don't believe he made one available of a Reedy rifle.  If i find out otherwise I will post the info.
