Finished today--JP Beck "inspired" .45 cal LR
« on: July 07, 2016, 05:21:45 AM »
Built this one for my son, but I'm pretty proud of how it came out.  It's rifle No. 5 for me so as experts will tell you, I'm very much still learning.  Still, my son is over the moon that it's his.  BTW, it hits what you shoot at, which seems to be the criteria that matters.

Delux Siler flintlock, Pecatonia Early Lancaster pre-carve, Green Mount 42" swamped B profile bbl, Davis #4 double set, Birchwood Casey walnut stain (as dark as I could get it) and Plum Brown to age the barrel.  Lock is au naturale.  Brass came from a vendor at Dixons gun fair and is all JP Beck, including patch box.  Steel sights from there as well.
