Jaw dropping. So beautiful. Wish I could see it in person.
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Gorgeous work all the way round. Note the use of the patchbox screw for the eye of the bird, brillant.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

I just looked at it a little while ago, and knew before I logged on to ALR that someone would have a thread posted about this gorgeous rifle.  Really outstanding work, so much to look at and take in.  I, too, would love to see it in person.

A fine tribute to a historical master.  Superlative work all around.
