Brian Barker's TN on the Blog

This is one mighty fine looking TN rifle.  Love the finish, the triggers and the trigger guard.  Just great looking all the way around.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

I love the lines on a Tennessee Mountain rifle. Nothing better.

Isn't is amazing that a rifle can be so spectacular without flamboyant curly maple?

Few, if any, rifles can match the elegant lines of a well executed Tennessee Mountain rifle.
