2025 Jaeger Seminar for NMLRA, ADDITIONAL PHOTOS
« on: July 23, 2024, 06:06:42 PM »
I have tendered my proposal for the 2025 NMLRA Seminar.


Ron Scott has designed a Seminar based on a 1730s Austrian (possibly Viennese) Fowler. The fowler was created with Rife (Jaeger) type mounts and could be made as a long Fowler or a Short Rifle. Ron will have mounts cast in brass for the project and anticipates using Chris Laubach’s CNC lock. With many European stock blanks available, it will possible to stock the project in the appropriate wood. Casts of the relief carving will be provided as well as a series of detailed photos  providing  guides for the participants. The original Fowler will be at hand during the seminar for study and measurement. The seminar will be open to those students returning from a previous seminar with unfinished projects.  For more details Ron can be contacted at 541-941-0395.

Beautiful gun!
Ron, could you post a close up of lock? I think a left-hand version would be possible with chambers gunmakers lock.

Best regards
Rolf

Here are some additional photos. Rolf, A Chambers left hand gun makers lock would be a reasonable starting place. I would suggest drilling the holes for the bridal and sear screw blind to keep the engraving canvas clean.
