The barrel is an Ed Rayle .54 and 43" long. The lock is one of the Tulle locks from TOTW with Chambers internals. Trigger guard is from Larry Zorn that has been modified a bit. Everything else is shop made.

I like the finish on your lock and barrel,would like to know what you used and how to use it. The rest looks great also. I have parts coming for my next rifle ,I think I'd like this on my new gun. Keep giving me ideas I like that.

Wow Brian. Love the side plate and nosecap. Your finish is fantastic.

I like it alot. If I were in the market for a new gun that would for sure have my full attention

Wow! That's a super gun. Right up my alley. I dig the sideplate of course.

Super Nice - You got a good thing going there Brian

B.Barker · « **Reply #9 on:** August 13, 2020, 09:01:05 PM »

Thanks everyone.

Mike I thought you might like that. Found the original in a trade gun book, by Hamilton I think.

John B the finish is cold browning and simmered in hot water then rubbed back.

That’s a nice one Brian. There’s a lot to like!!

Beautiful gun Brian! Very believable, and is (as Al Martin would say) very “organic”.

Marcruger · « **Reply #14 on:** August 14, 2020, 12:46:51 PM »

Now that looks like a fine shooting companion. I really like it, especially the warm finishes. The sideplate engraving is super. God bless, Marc

I love this rifle! One of the very best I have ever seen. Very inspirational. No trigger plate.....so cool.
Well done, Sir!!

Nicely done and interesting, tge sort of gun that really evokes the times.

B.Barker · « **Reply #17 on:** August 14, 2020, 07:24:14 PM »

Probably won't have it at the CLA John. It may be leaving very soon. It's kind of sad since it has been in my shop for three or four years in different stages. Almost like saying by to an old friend.

Ratz, was hoping I could handle it. Where did you get that guard? I like the looks of that.

Sweet,
The varied features give it a nice mystique.

Cool gun,
Jeff

I like everything about this one!

John, the guard came from Larry Zorn at Mold and Gun shop. I cut part of the front finial off and did some minor reshaping.

I like it, it has a unique look and upon closer inspection I see a wonderful scene on the sideplate. Lots of nice subtleties, great job!

D. Taylor Sapergia · « **Reply #23 on:** August 15, 2020, 07:51:40 PM »

I like it too. The rifle is understated in just about every aspect, yet carries a grace and sophistication that grabs you. Nicely done sir.

hanshi · « **Reply #24 on:** August 15, 2020, 09:37:52 PM »

That is really something to drool over. I would dearly love to own that rifle!
