The "Buzzard"
« on: October 20, 2021, 03:17:08 AM »
I finally finished it up this week. I didn't get any finished photo's before Wayne picked it up today. Maybe we can talk him into posting more photo's of it when he gets back home. It may be at the fall frolic this weekend I don't know.

 I’ve spent the better part of the day enjoying this piece. I’ll try to get some pictures of it when I can get some better light. This gun will be at the Fall Frolic show this weekend. I’m anxious to get it zeroed in. Might have to introduce it to one of those Stoner Creek whitetails. Excellent job Brian!!

Looks like a beautiful combination of maple, iron, and silver!  Very nice work... hope I get to see it at the Frolic.

Congrats on a nice rifle. I really like the side plate. Is it a .60 caliber?

He does right well, Bob.  But you ain't too shabby yourself in that regard!  :)

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. This rifle was more of a challenge than I first thought. Getting the butt stock right with the butt plate and the side plate was a bit of a pain to get right. Here is the toe plate with a silver end on the patch box latch push rod. This rifle had fourteen pieces of silver mounted on it.

I got to handle it at Stoner Creek's table in Lawrenceburg, and it is even more impressive in person.

That’s a great looking rifle.  Really love the silver cap on the patchbox release.  One cool bird!
