Art is not an object.  It is the excitement inspired by the object.

A really great rifle. Top of the pile. Some elements have been changed a bit to make it even more artistically balanced than the original.

Thanks guys.I just hope that the gun Gods don`t smite me for changing the carving in front of the patchbox and lock engraving,but the customer insisted that they didn`t fit in with the rest of the gun.I tried to talk him into letting me do a version of the gun,but he wanted everything like the original except for those two things.I usually wouldn`t even concider changing only a few things of an original,but since the lock is a replacement and the carving change wasn`t drastic I gave in.Thanks again....Mac Dahagan
