I have one of his North Carolina long rifles in .32 with a beautiful walnut stock and charcoal grey blueing.  I don't have pics available right now but will get some up soon.  This rifle is very accurate & fast.  I am very happy with his work, and i am sure you will be too.

sorry for so many post but that seems like the only way I can do it. anyway my 40 I got from Kevin has a straight 3/4 cross the flats 42in rice barrel. the maple wood is a tree he cut down. the gun is a tack driver with .395 ball .018 ticking soaked in ballistol the dried and spit patched, and 55gr. of goex ol eynsford. the workmanship on the gun is fantastic, and the photos dose not do it justice,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Those are all beautiful rifles; "bodacious", actually - that term is found in the Southern-Speak dictionary.  8)

hanashi,  "bodacious" was used a lot back in the 70s in this part of SC, I don't here it used anymore. the phrase "bo" has always been used in almost every sentence over in this county. everybody is called "bo" even the women use it sometimes. yea i reckon we are a bunch of rednecks for sure,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I recently purchased one of his Culpepper smooth rifles, it is .62/20 ga with a jug choke. I am very happy with it, this is my first smooth bore so I have a lot to learn but this has been a lot of fun. Our grouse and turkey season opens in about 3 weeks so I plan on putting it to work.
