Bull rifle - Faux curl - CLA

[Ken G]

Did anyone notice the painted on stripes on the fancy Bull rifle with the brass patchbox?  That was a real surprise to me. I had heard of some southern guns painted up but this was the first I'd seen up close.

I'd like to add a huge thank you to the KRA members for the outstanding displays.  It's an education everytime I get around those guys.  Really great group.

Any photos to share?  Sounds interesting.

Bigsky,
If I can get permission I will post a couple but not without the owners permission.

Yep, I saw it.  That kind of surprised me as well.  I spent a good deal of time looking at the 6 rifles on those two tables.  It was good meeting you this weekend Ken.  I can't wait till next year.  My head is still spinning.

Funny you can get caught up in the detail and miss the overall view.  I looked at the rifle over and over.  Studying every detail.  how the guard was made, the buttplate, thimbles.  If the owner had not pointed out the painted on stripes I swear i would have missed them completley.

He pointed it out to me too.  If you are K1 level then I'm still crawling.
