Haines Transitional Rifle?
« on: April 27, 2023, 02:11:23 AM »
I would be interested in seeing pictures of any Haines Transitional Rifle builds made from Dunlop sets, as well as your thoughts on them. His prices look good as do the components, I think.
Might be a nice change from what I am familiar with.
Thanks.

 Equal in quality to Chambers, or the old Getz component sets. I assembled one a decade or so ago.  Shoots better than I can.

Here is one I put together in 2018. My second kit and first attempt to do minor carving.










The kit is a little more work than a Chambers, but just as good.

I have one on my workbench now that I am finishing up.  It went together real well.  I purchased it so long ago that it has a Getz barrel.  It is iron mounted.  I made my own trigger plate and opted for a single trigger.  I am we;; please with the Dunlap kit.  If all goes well I will have some pics to post in a few weeks.  Trying to get-r-done before Memorial weekend.
