Christian Springs is getting there
« on: October 25, 2022, 05:49:19 PM »
I’ve been working on this gun for a while.  It’s coming along.  I need to engrave the metal and work on a ramrod.

Thanks everyone. Daryl, that’s the exact same star on my Allentown rifle only it’s brass.  This is my first time relief carving.  It’s been a learning experience for sure.

Mr. Kibler, when are you going to offer one of these?



I also think the rifle is great!

Those Moravian guns will grow on you, and that is certainly a nice one.
