You have to be pleased with that. Very nice Jaeger. I really like those Poser mounts. Is the walnut English? What caliber is the rifle?

Roy S. · « **Reply #5 on:** August 08, 2009, 05:33:14 PM »

I cheated and used black walnut... it does have stripe the entire length though. Just a contemp. gun lol. Its a 29" .58 cal Rayl barrel. Thanks for the replies.

GEE that's a real nice looking rifle. Good builders are cropping up all over the place.

You've created a most handsome rifle. The design makes for an awesome hunting rifle. I like the understated carving...it is a compliment to the relief castings. Overall, very nice.

Roy S. · « **Reply #9 on:** August 08, 2009, 07:00:31 PM »

Thank you for the kind words. I had fun building this one, something a bit different from anything else I have built. Sort of a get out of the system build for me.

For anyone going to the CLA show next week, I will have it on display with a few other pieces.

Good job, Kevin

Very nice indeed...

I'm not sure I've ever seen a lock which had a frizzen that flipped so far open it ended up basically in a horizontal position...what lock is that?

Roy S. · « **Reply #12 on:** August 08, 2009, 07:42:14 PM »

It was a set of castings from The Rifle Shoppe

Dang, you done good Roy. I suspect a TRS lock kit for this one. Beautiful carving. You're brave carving walnut so fine.

The patience and skill you guys have is really something.

THERE'S JUST NOT ENOUGH OF YOU...to cut down the wait time for guys like me who can't cut a straight line across a 2x4 with a skillsaw

Dang, but that's nice. Congratulations, Roy. You should be proud of this gun! Excellent job on the lock. Ain't easy to do.

Roy,

Another great N. Georgia gun!!

I really like the carving. I have a piece of black walnut sitting here waiting for my next gun. I will have to get some pointers from you.

I was telling Wayne Elliot about you the other day. He will have a table in the antique show next week at CLA showing his Wiley Higgens and other southern guns! Be sure to stop by and meet him. He lives near me in Marietta.

Roy S. · « **Reply #18 on:** August 08, 2009, 09:40:17 PM »

Thanks

Wayne knows my face lol.. I just don't think he put my face with the guns yet lol.
I really appreciate all of the compliments
