That is one beautiful gun! Thanks for posting the pics. I hope to see it in person before your customer picks it up.
That full range of color finish is what I could get my guns to look like.

This is the one Don Getz was showing around at the KRA show. It's even better in person.

@!*% you Allen,
Now the rest of us woodbutchers :-[are going to have to wait another year before we feel safe enough to post anything of ours again.
As usual my friend..... absolutely beautiful.
Love the finish.... (lampblack??) (rustoleum)
Again..... just stunning. Love the little angel under the patchbox lid.

Whoever the owner is....chain him to your table at CLA til we can get there to see the gun in person. It is classic!!

You betcha. After seeing this, I ain't posting any photos of anything I build. Y'all would fall over laughing at my efforts compared to this.

Alen- looks perfectly finished to me. Let the owner use it and put the patina on it him or herself. I for one, do not like the pre-antiqued rifles. I believe the rifle should earn it's marks, scars and tattoos.

Beautious, really like the stock. Both the stain color and finish treatment.
