I didn't go through all 35 pages to see if I had posted before but I don't think so. This is a .32 I built in the 90s with a Ron Griffie barrel, walnut stock.

This is a .36 I built in 2023 with an H&H barrel, Dixie lock tuned by Brad Emig. I guess it could be a squirrel rifle. The ball is pretty small.  I had the parts lying around since the late 80s and finally got around to building it hence the new old stock H&H barrel.

My percussion 32 squirrel rifle. Super accurate, does not get used much anymore as the kids are grown and gone. Shot many a whistle pig with this rifle.

Anyone have a new squirrel rifle to show? Must be some of us working to finish a pretty rifle for this coming season.

I finished this one last May. Not a copy of any original, just plain and simple shooter.

The cherry stock is from a blank that had been drying for decades. One light coat of Old English furniture polish and several coats of Minwax tung oil finish. It’s gradually getting darker.

The barrel is an “A” wt, 38” long and .38 caliber from Charles Burton.

The lock is a late Ketland from Jim Kibler.

Davis DST.

I made the TG, BP, PB, nose cap and rod pipes.
