Deer hunting flint special!

Latest out of my shop. .54 C swamped 38" Colerain barrel, large Siler lock, single trigger, sugar maple stock. Not based on any particular gun or bench copy, just a perfect deer hunting rifle for carrying in the woods. Couple little details to touch on and will probably be up for adoption soon.

Yes, good looking rifle. Quite robust-seeming in the forend & a good strong wrist.
Looks like a nice shooting rifle.

Nice work on the rifle Osprey. Out of curiosity, do you know what it weighs?

Elegance and graceful meets functionality. A beautiful rifle to keep you company in the woods until the Venison shows up.
