Here is one of my current builds. This is the other rifle I would like to keep for myself. That's how it started out anyway. I've been working on it in my spare time for about a year now. It has a custom 47" Rice barrel in .50 on it. The lock is Chambers late Ketland and the triggers are a set I made. I might make another for myself but it will probably be a little plainer..... maybe.

The Folk Art ingredients are a real draw to this one, not to mention it’s a real beauty of a build.

I got to handle that rifle , and it feels as good as it looks. The folk art really does set it apart. I will be looking forward to seeing this one finished. Nice Work!! Nate

You spelled 'Beer' wrong.
Lots of days I could kill a beer!

Really whole -hog nose-cap there!

Grand rifle and so different . I Like it a lot!

I have done some nose caps in that manner but not that complex. Super job.

That gun has it goin on man! That engraving really trips my trigger.

It’s a beauty— will be looking forward to pictures of the finished rifle.

Dang and I thought it was the one you are making for me that you wanted to keep.

B.Barker · « **Reply #12 on:** February 01, 2018, 09:14:07 PM »

I've got some other ideas but don't know if they will be used on this one. Don't want it to look too busy.
I really don't like doing pewter nose caps that much. They can be a pain when they are complex but they really look good on the right rifle.

Great looking rifle!! I especially like the nose cap. Want to try that myself here shortly.

Lots to like there,looking forward to seeing how you finish it

hanshi · « **Reply #16 on:** February 01, 2018, 11:15:47 PM »

You have some dead serious talent for engraving and gun building.

Elnathan · « **Reply #17 on:** February 02, 2018, 12:42:48 AM »

That is quite cool. Is there a particular original it is based on? I'm not as familiar with post-1800 guns as I am the earlier ones.

C Wallingford · « **Reply #18 on:** February 02, 2018, 12:48:28 AM »

Lookin good Brian. Really catches my eye!

elk killer · « **Reply #19 on:** February 02, 2018, 02:03:17 AM »

That's a great rifle, any chance of seeing the trigger guard from the bottom?

B.Barker · « **Reply #20 on:** February 02, 2018, 02:12:58 AM »

Not a copy of any rifle or school. Its what most call a fantasy rifle. I took bits and pieces from southwest Virginia and western North Carolina with a pinch of Tennessee.
Elk, I'll try to get a photo of the trigger guard for you.

JVavrek · « **Reply #21 on:** February 02, 2018, 02:41:26 AM »

Can't wait to see the finished rifle. I love the nose cap and the engravings.

Osprey · « **Reply #22 on:** February 02, 2018, 02:48:21 AM »

I like it a lot, but have to admit the "baer" spelling would bother me every time I picked it up.

Plus, a real bear rifle don't need to self promote...

Cades Cove Fiddler · « **Reply #23 on:** February 02, 2018, 03:11:09 AM »

... That's the one, Brian ....!!!! .... got me wondering what trick you are gonna try on her next ... !! .... mighty fine looking rifle .... swings up nicely too, for a long barreled gun .... Keep posting progress .. !!! .. regards, C C Fiddler ...
