Pics of rifles these parts made for
« on: January 12, 2021, 09:18:34 PM »
Hello all. Here are hand made parts set by Myron Carlson back many years ago, and labeled E Tennessee
I am looking for pics of the gun they would be suitable for.
Planning a build using them and want to be correct.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards Dave  8) 8)

Did you look in our Library/Museum?

Art is not an object.  It is the excitement inspired by the object.

I think Myron's east Tennessee parts were fairly generic. He did make specific parts sets too like the Boone Tree, Rowan County etc...I don't know if Ron Boran had a blue print drawing for the east Tenn. or not but it might be worth a look. Log Cabin shop carries Ron's prints for Myron's stuff. The southern originals print set #1 includes what is labeled a Tennessee full stock percussion rifle.

Oh My God.  That picture brings a smile to my face.   That picture was taken outside his booth at Friendship.  Myron was not only a great friend, he was also best man for Bev and I when we got married   Thanks so much for posting that.

diamante Thanks for the photo of Myron.... He always had a corner table at the Prarie State show. At one show he brought a miniature Tenn. rifle that he had made... It was not for sale.. My friiend Morrie wanted to buy it.  He said not for sale..   Morrie was not one to give up eaisly. He bought the rifle..   Myron later said, He just keep raising the price till I had to let it go.. Sad to say, now they are both gone.  LP

If it isn’t too late, I think this may be what you are looking for.  This is in a set of SMR drawings that I just received. Do you still have the parts?
