Thanks to Ken for a lot of info and help

42" 3/4" .36 cal Rayl barrel, L&R lock stocked in ash. Hope you all like it...

It looks like a dandy to me , except it's backwards! I really like the looks of the ash. What does it weigh?

Great looking rifle. I really like the wear plate under the forearm and the poured nose cap. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Nice Roy! Looks like you trimmed all the "fat" off of her! I like the wear plate and the lock bolts with no washers or sideplate.

Brian Jordan · « **Reply #6 on:** September 08, 2008, 07:01:34 PM »

Nice rifle, I have never seen a gun with a wear plate before. I really like the copper with that wood finish. Looks great!!

Good work...those Southern Rifles have a quiet grace that is quite addictive, don't they!

MRW · « **Reply #8 on:** September 08, 2008, 10:03:52 PM »

Now that is a proper looking rifle with the lock on the correct side

Nice looking rifle, great profile, I too like the ware plate, nice touch. Even if it wasn't a "touch" it looks like it belongs.

I really like the rifle. Did you forge the guard?

Roy S. · « **Reply #11 on:** September 09, 2008, 12:37:54 AM »

Thanks everyone.

It was sort of a pain, but I really like how it turned out. I don't get too many orders for Tenn. rifles..

Rich,
No I cheated on the gaurd, I picked it up from Dru Hedgecock at the CLA. I added rivets to make it appear hand made... I did make the two piece buttplate though that was fun brazing together LOL.

Looks real good Roy, nice job. I am sure it's sold already

Roy S. · « **Reply #13 on:** September 09, 2008, 02:46:59 AM »

Thanks

they are all for orders anymore.

I do have a few spec guns planned, no tellin when I'll get to them though.

Very nice looking gun! I really like the lines and the nose cap work. Thanks for sharing with us.

Ah............looks like a N GA gun to me!! That is a good looking gun Roy. I bet that tang was fun, eh?

Thanks for posting it!!

Ken G · « **Reply #16 on:** September 09, 2008, 05:42:19 AM »

Nice job Roy! Very nice. Dr.TimBoone is right on the money though. I think it's from the N. GA school. Dahlonega to be exact. hahaha The nose cap is awsome. Thanks for posting the pics.

Thats cool. I like the curly ash stock and the wear plate.

B Shipman · « **Reply #18 on:** September 09, 2008, 07:13:06 AM »

A very cool looking rifle top to bottom. A great mix of the complex and simple. No sideplate (easy} yet wedges (hard). Nice styling. Really like it. I've got a Bill Large barrel, .43 tapered 42 in. with a lollypop tang and a fantastic piece of curly ash, and some forged furnature I got from Ian Prat at the 2007 CLA show. When I get the time....

Acer Saccharum · « **Reply #19 on:** September 09, 2008, 03:27:57 PM »

Roy, that is a real nice rifle. great color, fit and finish, very graceful. Makes me want to try my hand at one. Good job.

Bill Shipman, I know you have a nice piece of ash. You bought it at Dixon's this year. And somehow squeezed it into your Z-3.

Charlie B · « **Reply #20 on:** September 09, 2008, 03:33:51 PM »

VERY NICE!

Roy.....nice looking little gun, I could live with that. Shame you had to build it wrong. We have a local hospital that could
cure you. This local fellow went into the hospital with this strange affliction and they had to remove his whole left side,
but they say he is alright now.......Don

Roy S. · « **Reply #22 on:** September 09, 2008, 07:28:40 PM »

Bill,
I had a few different sideplates made for it, just didn't like the looks of them on the gun LOL.

Don,
I am a righty, but this is made for a lefty... Good thing I am dyslexic

I sighted this one in, and to be honest shooting a left handed gun for me is no big deal... even cheated and took it squirrel hunting for a few hours Saturday LOL.

Once again thanks everyone for the kind words.

Dahlonega school huh?

Boy that really looks nice. I love the color. Nice job....Geo.
