Here are two identical Colerain barrels off their 42", 12 ga. Griffin Spanish barrel profile. One is stock and the other has had the muzzle relieved inside like many of the original guns were done. The Griffin profile is a pretty good option if one gets the maximum bore size for the outside...

Mike, These are really nice barrels. If I remember correctly a customer drew up the measurements from a picture of a Dolep gun. The Rice barrel has super nice lines for a trade type gun and is very light but in my opinion needs a much bigger breech for replicating a Dolep style sporting gun.

The bigger the caliber, the lighter the rifle. Same O/D. I would be looking at a .54 in Woodsrunner and a .58 in the Colonial. If I'm not mistaken, there is more done to completion on the Woodsrunner due to the machine ans programs in which its being run on. If that makes a difference for you...

Plain old boring butcher/scalping knife and or a folder. No neck knives.

That's the one. I have the info somewhere.

I did hear talk a couple of years ago that there was a small tannery out west that was producing some in small amounts but I can't come up with the information I once had on it.

Leather Guy has some listed but I have no idea of the quality, etc https://theleatherguy.org/collections/white-buff/products/white-buff-for-reenactment-50-sq-ft-full-hide

I haven't been able to find any since Booth was importing.

If it is supposed to be a new gun, it has been messed with and the seller knows it. Its like paying full price for a new pickup that's been keyed down both sides

Nice crossover stock

Cutter and Rebel. Half Old Time Scotch Collie and half English Shepherd. All around top farm dogs. They are upright herders and keep the deer and bear out of the crops with vigor.

Thank you for listing the link. This website although still in construction has been a long time coming. I have to give all credit to my daughter who is apprentice to me. She is a teacher and is using her summer breaks to learn from me. I'm learning a few things from her as far as organization : )

My bet is the stock warped that way after major wood removal and has been there since....especially if its a right handed gun and the stock is bent to the left as if standing behind the gun as that is cast-on.

Formby's is not a real tung oil IIRC. Dave Person uses and recommends Sutherland Welles tung oil. You could also go with a linseed varnish by Tried and True.

Went live with my new website today... https://jamesrogerscreations.weebly.com/

Thats rough shooting and I would say a 16 with 38" barrel and a breech of about 1 1/4" to 1 3/8"

Jim was a neighbor and one of my closest friends since I was a young teen. I have several rifles he built for me. If we weren't planning to see each other during the day we usually talked by phone about 8am which was usually about half a days work done by then ; )

That work was by my friend and mentor Jim Hash. The wood is an exceptional piece of sugar maple.
