That is a great looking rifle. Wish I would have seen it first. I ran upon an original Bull rifle with an angular patch box. Somewhat similar but not quite the same. Will make a fine looking rifle when I scrape up the $$ to have it made.
It does however pain me to know that a persimmon tree was sacrificed to make the stock. I have the best persimmon cookie recipe you ever tasted. Green persimmons make excellent fishing bait. I know, I never would have believed it. All you do is tie a string around one and when the fish bites their mouth draws up and they cannot spit it out.
