Mike, looking great! What’s next for you? Did you finish the Lancaster we started in class?

Next job is to go over to the foundry and help pour brass.

Nice rifle Mike. At some point, I'd like to see you adding some of these to your own stable...especially these tasty ones.

I'd give it a solid double nifty if you see it in person.

Good looking rifle Mike.

Hello Mike,

I really like your rifle. As a collector of WV Original Longrifles, I noticed the acorn inlay. I own a Todd Sherwood original longrifle with a very similar inlay shown in photo below. Did you copy an original Sheetz rifle? I owned an original Sheetz that had smaller acorn inlays on the fore stock but have not seen this acorn inlay on other rifles. Maybe someone else here has seen this acorn inlay on other originals.

The gun i copied is on one of the kra DVD
. Several guns there have that acorn inlay

Nice work there Mike!!!

I made another John Sheetz rifle a few years ago that is very similar. This one has the Rice Southern Classic barrel in .50. Very light gun, probably 6.5lbs.
