Mark, a grand rifle and the spirit of the handwork shows, even in the pictures. Thanks for sharing this with us.
For those of you who have not visited Mark's website, it is an excellent site with a lot of great material.  Look at this rifle and then browse around.
kind regards, heinz

Great Job Mark, absolutely beautiful. I think I saw the original several years ago at Bowling Green when Wallace had it there. Somewhere I have those pictures that I took of it at that time. Anyway you have done a great job.

All your work is interesting, Mark. This is really elegant. Guessing Freddie Harrison wood?

Mark, the dogwood flower impressed me, and was/is a real eye catcher.  You've done a splendid job on the whole thing, and I am envious of your "Personal Rifle".
