    Deep river rifle

    Hatman, my steel and iron gets a good rusting from Dangler's browning solution then I simmer it in hot water till it turns black. Pull it out and scrub it back, usually with a green 3M pad and WD40 until I get the look I want.

    A Kibler woodsrunner rifle I assembled and added a brass box lid and some carving to. Also some accoutrements to go along with muzzleloaders. Seems like I always have ten or more things I'm working on at any given time.

    Deep river rifle

    Thanks everyone. Salty the box lid pivots on a wood screw and the spring latch is just like the usual wood lid spring. I do slim down the spring more on these pivot style lids.

    Hard work

    Thanks for sharing Phil. Yes it is hard work but that keeps my mind focused on productive things. I know the real work will start when I start setting logs.

    Hard work

    Lord willing I'm going to start a log cabin this winter. I've started dropping poplar trees and hewing them for the cabin. It's a good work out but therapeutic at the same time. This is also a great time to be in the woods.

    Bag knife

    I made this little bag knife up from 1084 spring steel and hickory handle. I like it so much I may keep it at least through hunting season.

    Here's my personal rifle for the last ten or twelve years. It's a .50 with a Rice barrel. Trying to get a new one built in .54 for a little more punch. Photo was taken by Ric Lambert.
