Edward Marshall Rifle

[cmac]

This is my take on the Marshall rifle, not an exact copy. It has a 54 caliber, c weight, Early transitional style Rice barrel. The lock was made by Danny Caywood. Reeves Goering brass mounts, with a sterling silver overlay on the triggerguard.  The curly maple stock has been relief carved. I modified the Davis double set triggers, and made the patchbox, ramrod pipes, ramrod tip, sideplate, and barrel lugs. Time to shoot!!

Nice gun, too bad it's left handed... I really like the color.

Don't you know left handed people are the only folks in their right mind,nice rifle

[smylee grouch]

I had an old guy tell me that there were two kinds of people in this world, right handed people and those that wished they were right handed.

Very nice. Can you tell me what buttplate that is? Haven't seen that one. Thanks

Thanks all! The buttplate was made  by Reeves Goering and I believe it is their Christian Springs casting

Excellent job.I like that that stain what did you use to get that cooler.Looks like a shooter to me.

[D. Taylor Sapergia]

I'm left handed, and right eye'd - so I shoot from my right shoulder.  But I hold a pistol in my left, and lay my head over to use my right eye...looks a little strange.

Congrats on a nice build.

I really like the tartan.

Nice Rifle.

[cmac]

Thanks again. The stain I used was Homer Danglers dark brown/walnut. I often use aquafortis first but didn't this time. I give the stock about 3 coats buffing in between with steel wool or a fine 3m pad. Then comes about 6 coats of refined linseed oil, and after it has all dried I burnish some more and apply Ray's Gun Wax.
The tartan is the MacCrea tartan-one of about 6 different colors/patterns available. I really like the weathered colors of one that has browns where this has blue, but with tartan prices at about $110 a yard I think I will stick with this plaid

I like that you made a lot of the parts and really thought out the build.  The architecture captures the original well.

Sounds like our 14 year old grandson,Zack. He is left eye dominant but shoots right handed.

This looks to be an excellent gun, but I'm having trouble getting beyond the plaid. A neutral background while boring, doesn't compete with the artwork.
