Moravian Inspired Smooth Rifle done (sort of)
« on: May 07, 2022, 03:30:01 AM »
This is one I have been working on for a bit.  It is based on a couple of smooth rifles in the Moravian gunbuilding books.  I have aged it more than I generally do, I usually add some patina but this is a little bit more. 

The mounts are an Edward Marshall style trigger gaurd, the buttplate is an Edward Marshall as well but I reshaped it. The lock is a Chambers Early Germanic that I reshaped for appearance.  All built around a Brown Bess barrel made by Greg Christian.

Cory Joe, you've done a great joe. You've got a believable look. I love those barrels Greg was doing. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice interpretation of something Chr. Springs masters could or might have built.
