Silver Beck Pistol
« on: October 16, 2015, 02:36:10 AM »
Way late getting this posted, but I finished this little Beck pistol this spring.  Parts are from a York Firelocks Beck kit, sterling silver, small siler lock.  A buddy gave me a killer piece of maple stump burl to use, and I wanted a .54 barrel to go with my .54 Beck rifle, so a few changes to the original set.  One of these days I've got to get out and shoot it.

Nice piece of wood. Great job on the pistol. I really love those Beck Pistols. The lines just flow so beautifully. Thanks for sharing.
