Allen Martin Bucks County
« on: December 20, 2023, 12:03:21 AM »
I wanted to share my new addition to the family. It was delivered a couple weeks ago. Hope you guys enjoy these pictures as much as I enjoy seeing this beautiful piece of art. Allen is a true Master!! I told Allen I wanted a jazzed up schimmel deluxe, with a really nice piece of curly maple. I told Allen I wanted something easy on my aging shoulders. She balances like a dream and weighs slightly over 6lbs 9oz. Well he delivered.

40" - .54cal Bobby Hoyt, round bottom rifling to Allen's custom profile
slightly modified tail - Deluxe Siler
carved wooden patchbox
double headed eagle - silver inlay
nicely accented molding lines and carvings

That’s a real beauty! Good thing that buttplate is screwed down tight too!

Whoopie Pie! (the feeding call of the Martins  ;)

Allen is a really talented gunsmith and a nice guy!

Yes indeed very jazzed up. But at less than 7 pounds it might not be that easy on your shoulder.  ;D very nice.

Looks snazzy!  And if you knew how fast Allen probably made it, you'd have even more appreciation!
