Well you did. Beautiful rifle.

Very nice gun.  It would be great to see some close ups of the details.

Thanks for your kind comments. Just a little side note, I had started out building longrifles, and was mentored by Allen Martin, so I owe it to him. He's been very helpful, to which I am grateful. So here's a few more closer up pictures, still got some more improving yet..

That is a beautiful rifle, and now you can show it to the rest of us.  I feel the same way, I
can't believe posting pictures is so easy.  I am going to try it again later today so that I
don't forget how to do it.  I have a feeling we are going to see more pictured posted in the future.  Thanks again Kingsburyarms.

I'd say Allen taught you well, that is a beautiful rifle. Thanks for posting it.

You have produced a pretty spectacular rifle - an ambitious project for sure.  Your carving is very bold, your patch box well done and the architecture lovely.  Great work!

Thanks - Dennis did the work - I just flew air cover -  ;D

To tell the truth - these pictures help out us new guys so much more that you would ever think - I don't have the opportunity to travel to many events/shows/museums, and to see these masterpieces of art helps me understand and learn so much more. keep posting!!!!!!

Mike the procedure is not hard but my problem is almost always the site is crawling because it is so loaded down with ads because I am too cheap to pay and use the free site. Got so slow I went to tinypic.com which was really nice at first then photobucket bought it and proceeded to load it down with ads. So far imgbb.com has no ads and is really fast.

Mike, photo bucket was the problem,  I would  down load pictures onto the site , then when I would go look for the downloads, couldn't find them anywhere,  so I gave up.. I must have tried it at least a half a dozen times... 😕

Ah, I see. I have so many pictures on there that I have been paying $25 per year. I have never ever seen an ad when I use it.

Ah, that explains it, you are one of the paid membership. Still that's a good price if you are getting good service.

The carving borders really makes the carving stand out boldly.

Thanks again for your kind compliments. N Stephenson I think too that the original is a very nice gun, while I've seen some original of John Noll, I actually have never seen this particular rifle, I built this gun based on pictures

Absolutely gorgeous rifle. I thought it was a James Klein build at first, he works in that school sometimes.
Beautiful!
