John Rupp Rifle
« on: November 04, 2024, 08:48:59 PM »
This winter I decided to make a Lehigh Valley rifle. I finished the rifle this spring but haven't taken pictures to post until now. It is a John Rupp replica and has a .40 Cal Rice Golden Age Barrel and a small Siler lock. The stock is from Harrison Gunstocks. I hope you enjoy the pictures. Any comments are welcome.

Take care. Cheers Niall

Super work Niall!  With that high comb and Roman nose, you'll be glad you used .40 cal.  These can be unforgiving cheek busters.

Very nice carving on what looks like a really hard (or at least stubborn) curly stick- handy and handsome
