Brand new styled after JP Beck
« on: July 25, 2011, 01:41:48 AM »
Just finished this one. Did it to the best of my ability using research books and internet photos to style as much as I could. Not a direct copy of any particular rifle, but based on techniques and style of JP Beck.  I used a Rice 50 Cal 44" "B" profile (I really like that barrel) it's a full pound lighter than the C profile. Makes a nice slim lightweight rifle. My next rifle will be similar but I plan to try to locate a nice stock blank at the CLR show. to build the next one from scratch. Enjoy my photos.

Good Job Micah on a great looking rifle.  I really like the nice rich color of the stock and the deep finish that you achieved.  Can you explain your process?

Great job Micah, that is one fine looking rifle !   The engraving is well executed and I really like the color of the wood

Times have sure changed. Gun control used to mean keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction

I'm planning to build a similar one to keep. I'm hopeing to find a nice stock blank at the CLR show. I really love the feel of the Rice 50cal 44" "B" profile barrel. So that's going to be the heart of the new one as well.
