Iron Mounted Rifles ?

[Bart]

Does anyone have pictures of or own an iron mounted rifle, stocked in curly ash that you would be willing to post some pictures of ?

I'd like to see anything in curly ash!

Wow ! those are some pretty rifles. Does anyone have pictures of iron mounted Hershel House rifles or his brothers??

...and as long as we're talking about curly ash, what region(s) and times are we likely to have found rifles/fowling pieces stocked with ash? I've got a shooting box in process right now that's curly ash. I've done some finish trials on some little scraps, and really like how it looks.

The Spears Rifle is my favorite.

I have some pics of his rifle if you need them.

Here's a couple of rifles that Chuck Edwards built.  Both are curly ash with forged iron mounts.  Curly ash is my favorite wood for iron mounted guns.

New guy question, how do you get the iron to look like that? Is it just natural patina? Thanks, James

Here are some I have made, but not in ash.
I have done 2 in ash, but didn't take any pictures
