We will have a couple of brand new kiddos guns coming up soon! These things are fun to create.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

Here is the gun I made up for our youth group in our club.  It shoots 30 grain air rifle slugs with 5 grains of 4f.  Dime sized groups at 25 yards.  Made from an old .22 LR barrel

It makes all the difference when someone has a good dependable gun to start out with. Stoner did a great job on those he’s about to finish. My hat is off to him for all he does for the youth and shooting in general.

I made this one some years ago for my granddaughter Emeline.  It has a .40 Rice barrel about 31 inches long and a small Siler from Jim Chambers. I had a time finding a small enough trigger guard.  This one can be recognized as a narrowed Harpers Ferry rifle guard/.  It is very plain, but that is in keeping with my lack of talent.  Oh yes 5 1/2 pounds.

Way to go Fyrstyk.  That's a good looking gun and fun to shoot, I'll bet.  Good for you and Wayne, and Steve, and Frogwalking, and all the others getting kids out to shoot these guns we love.  They will keep this going when we're all gone.

Austin didn't do the work.  Wayne did the work on the rifles for Austin's boys.
