Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

What's the deal with all the trophies in the background?  ;D
Strange women lying in ponds, distributing swords, is no basis for a system of government!

That's a beautiful rifle. 
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Here is a better picture of the carving.  Click on it for a good look.  Notice the comb.  This one is no cheek slapper.

Looks totally right on. Love the carving behind the cheek piece. At that weight it should handle amazingly well.

With production at 4-5 guns per year you should really consider me retired.

You take far better pictures than I do.  :P I consider this to be some of my best work. Had to by $650 worth of new chisels to get that carving  done.

Freddy Harrison wood I believe. I have a good supply laid back now, probably enough to build the rest of the guns I want to build.

That wood looks as alive as a fish Mike.  You half expect it to move on its own!

It's already found a new home in Alabamy. I might have a wired up Oerter there.
