About a year ago, I purchased an unfinished longrifle from an elderly gentleman in Ontario. Bought it pretty much sight unseen due to the price and goodies that were included (Swiss rifflers, Henry Taylor carving tools, etc.) He told me that he built it at one of Peter's classes - in the 1990's, as I recall - and it had been languishing in his workshop ever since. Four or six in the class with weekly get-togethers, if I recall correctly. There is some very good work and a few challenges to be dealt with. The carving patterns that have been laid out are very good and I believe they are most likely by Alexander's hand. A curious feature is the Sharon octagon barrel having been turned octagon to swamped round. He told me Peter advised him to have that done.
I expect to get to it later this year.
