Trying to load some pics for Homerifle. Will load more , for some reason all my pics are loading to downloads, not to pics. Homerifle can chime in and explain photos.

I got this bag from Marcruger to go with the rifle I finished up last year. Thought you guys might want to see it with Marc's great bag. Inspired from the brass barrel rifle that most everyone knows about and the sister rifle. I guess this is the redheaded stepchild!

Fascinating carving John. Now I see why you wanted the Join or Die bag to go with it. Very nice sir. God Bless, Marc

Very nice combination indeed...Marc I like the bag an homer really like the folksy carving you did... Something a little different from the norm. Like it a lot...Oldtravler

John, You now need a Tim Crosby snake horn. They are amazing.

homerifle · « **Reply #14 on:** August 02, 2020, 02:19:40 AM »

Marc, They have had my attention for awhile now. They definitely have the cool factor going on!

Rajin cajun · « **Reply #15 on:** August 02, 2020, 02:50:30 AM »

Homerifle, man you need one of those snake horns. The one with the lighter color snake is a close match to the snake on your rifle.
Dig deep buddy and add that horn to your package, have Tim add a little scrimshaw to the base stating your ownership.
Man I have visions of that outfit being displayed.....!
Great outfit....

Bob

Marcruger · « **Reply #16 on:** August 02, 2020, 04:38:13 PM »

Another Crosby snake horn. BTW, the horn with the light colored snake will never be for sale.

homerifle · « **Reply #17 on:** August 02, 2020, 05:35:23 PM »

Marc, that's very tempting. I like this one over the other two however I'll probably use an original antique horn.

oldtravler61 · « **Reply #18 on:** August 08, 2020, 02:16:53 AM »

Marc don't remember seeing those snake horns before...
They have a VERY cool factor to them indeed....

Love that rifle and bag! Now you really need a snake horn! WOW!

Marcruger · « **Reply #20 on:** August 09, 2020, 06:28:59 PM »

Guys, only the second of those snake horns lives at my house. Tim is quite prolific in the snake field, even making a snake cane not long ago. Quite the talent that Mr. Crosby.

Neat rifle.

Neat rifle.

Thanks for looking. I might add that this is my 4th. rifle build, finished June 2019. I finished number 7 a couple weeks ago. All are built from the blank. The wood came from Jim Kibler ,chamber's lock and Colerain barrel in .45 cal. All hardware forged by me. Oh, I got lazy and used a Davis single trigger I had laying around instead of making one. Two and half inch drop and thirteen and half inch pull. So far I only build for me. That way I only have to make one person happy!

John has a good view & imagination on this outfit Mark. I like it & I think he thought this out well !! I like what he did.

I like this style of carving. Is there a name for this type of more rustic engraving style? Folk?
