Averys First Rifle
« on: May 10, 2022, 02:50:44 AM »
Well folks with a year in the works, my daughter Avery and I completed her first rifle. It was an excellent and arduous journey for both of us and it allowed me to share the wonderful world of the longrifle with her. Thank you for looking.

Yep, looks like you’ve ruined another one! I’m sure she’s going to cherish that forever.

Hi,
What a wonderful event and story.  I hope she enjoys shooting that rifle thoroughly.  I also love the art work over the fireplace.

Great job Brett and Avery.  Now, get some leather and let her help make a rig for that fine rifle.

Congrats to your daughter when she also helped a hand to build the gun. She looks happy and proud. Not speaking of the dad's smile

That's awesome...  You need to post some pics of smiles when she burns some powder in it as well.  Well done!
