Here's a few pictures of my rifle finished today. Maple blank, Tigger Guard and Butt plate from Allen Martin. Rice 44 inch B weight .50 caliber barrel. Golden age flintlock from Pecatonica River. Everything else built from scratch and used primarily hand tools including the barrel inlet and ramrod hole. Stock finish is aquafortis, wood life wood preservative, four coats of golden oak stain, and Permaline stock finish rubbed out each time between coats. Perma blue on barrel and lock which I may rub out a bit more.

Hope you like it as much as I had fun building it!

Very handsome rifle. The color is very pleasing. Most of all you actually built the rifle. You should be proud of this one.

Good work old buddy. Another 280 or so and you’ll be a household name…..

Fine work …… you should (rightfully) be very proud of this gun . ( so……..what’s the next one going to be ? There’s never just one)

Daniel Coats · « **Reply #18 on:** November 09, 2021, 04:53:02 PM »

Thank you everyone!

My next will likely be a bench inspired/copy from one of the contemporary guns in my collection. I have several by some pretty well known makers that I admire greatly. A special thank you to the forum and contributions from members and builders I aspire to be.
