It kind of looks like I'm trying to protect it from these guys, but the fact is, of the six rifles in the image, I built five of them. Starting on the right, Isaac Haines .54 cal x 42" bbl, Andrew Verner .50 cal x 48" bbl, Sam Hawken .54 cal 34" bbl, Jacob Kuntz .40 cal x 44" bbl, Baker .62 cal x 32" bbl. The fellow on the far left owns one of my last rifles - a nice flint Jake Hawken .50 cal, but he's babying it, and was using his GPR .54 today. My somewhat awkward pose resulted from just having run fifteen yards through the snow while the camera counted down it's ten seconds.
Today it's -20 C so it was good to get the shoot in yesterday.
