Paired Rifles
« on: February 19, 2023, 06:48:14 PM »
Here is an interesting dilemma. Use them in house or sell them. I have had these Armenian Walnut stocks in my inventory fo about five years and am now starting to give some thought to use. They are 48 inches long, so suggest use for Jaeger Rifles. Have fun speculating

They look to be sister blanks, ie:  cut side by side from the same stump.  Really lovely grain flow, colour and figure Ron.

Really nice blanks, Ron. Wrist sections perfect for maximum strength and great mineral lines. They would be right at home on an English sporting rifle as well as a Jaeger.

Ron, with your skills I would say you should use them. I was looking at Erhard's new book last night and thought it would be very cool to have a Jaeger rifle and matching smooth bore. You are just the man who could pull it off!
Best regards,
Carl

Nice rifle, Carl. Are you about to order just such a pair?
Beautiful. Flashy indeed.

Oh yeah...if Ron would take an IOU ;D

the photo is of a"glatter Lauf" which I think is German for smooth bore, or maybe fried potatoes with malt vinegar ::)

Best,
Carl

Beautiful blanks! Ron, if you decide not to use 'em you might be able to talk me into taking 'em off your hands.

Yes, I did write a book. It's called The Classic English Double Barrel Click the little globe between my profile and e-mail link to check it out.
