Lasted build
« on: June 13, 2024, 12:24:07 AM »
.60 caliber rifle Rayl barrel, chambers lock, Harrison Stump stock, Mike Brooks cast gaurd.  Swaged butt plate. My engraved sideplate.  Going to sight it in and see if I need to engrave butt plate and gaurd. Maybe add a patchbox. Critiques welcome.

I'd be happy to own it! I have one of your guns and they have their own unique charm and style. And very well built as well!

Like it as is but more engraving feels right to me.

Dang, that's a very nice rifle. It looks like it is ready to be taken out and put through its paces. Fun day at the range, for sure.

It's beautiful. A little more engraving won't be "gaudy"  just icing on the cake.
