Just finished this. The walnut blank is from Keith Lisle, the lock is Liston Rice's round tail Nock and the triggers are also by Rice. The barrel is a 40 cal 40" Rice JLR. All metal finished with Mark Lee's Express Blue.

Especially nice plank and well done. Nice to see a bit of curl in the forend, too. Adornment for a plain rifle. Love it.

Like Rich said, the fine, crisp lines and finishes turn a simple rifle to elegant. You certainly did justice to the nice stick of wood, and leave us wanting to see more of your work! Congrats and thanks, Bob

sdilts
I have been watching your work for years, it just gets better and better. I miss the chats we had at the CLA shows all those years. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the compliments guys. This was a fun build. Unfortunately, I don't get to keep it. It will be heading to North Carolina. The walnut blank was a pleasure to work with. Here are a couple pics of the blank as received from Keith Lisle.

David Price, I always enjoyed those chats. I learned a lot from you. I still have that last swivel breech kit I got from you. Hopefully, I'll get to it in the near future. Too busy with other people's stuff right now.

Nice love the walnut and clean lines.

Someone's going to be strolling around with a smug smile on their face carrying that rifle. Nice work!

A fabulous rifle, indeed!
