Thin Lizzy

[Gaeckle]

Unlike the rock group, this dainty rifle was just finished up. It sports a 3/4" barrel, Davis Goulcher lock, Davis triggers, an antique butplate (I like using old antique parts, it's my way of paying homage to those builders of the past), an antique capbox that I salvaged....that was a touch and go affair....and a wear plate due to coming through the bottom when drillinlog the ramrod hole. There's some nice figure in the wood and the guy l got it from was going to toss it because it was so slim and slight...what a free be!

Oh, forgot that part....it's a 32, don't know who or where the barrel came from.....hope to shoot it on Saturday

If a rifle can be called sexy she is it. Thin, wispy, and fun to hold. Hopefully if you shoot it tomorrow it will be on this months "postal match".

[BOB HILL]

You always seem to have some cool projects in the works that aren’t the run of the mill stuff most guys are showing.  I like the variety as well as the skill of your work.

Very cool John, thanks for sharing it!

[Bob Gerard]

Wow! That's beautiful, and I like how you re-use parts of old guns and give them new life. It just looks perfect.
