54 finished

[old ugly]

well after all the grief i finaly got it finished, 54 cal. 44'barrel poorboy style.kept it plain. i think it will be a good shooter.even built a case for it. pictures are a bit blurry but you get the idea.
now i have to find some time to take it out and sight it in.

Beautiful rifle and I really like the case. What dimension material did you use for the case?

I agree!!

The rest of us SHOOT the bull; now you should be able to HIT it with that bad boy. That case is awesome, by the way. :v

If the rest of the rifle looks as butstock and lock area(and I'm pretty sure it does) you have a nice shooting iron there.Congratulations on a job well done.

for the case, i bought 2x8 cheep pine and ripped it on edge into 3 sections just under 1/2" thick.then glued and tacked it together. the straps are just goodwill old leather belts with a steel button for them to hook too.
the next one i build i will rip 2x10 as on this box it is just a little to narrow i had to knotch out for the lock to clear the lid.
i will get some more photos on the weekend.
i was quite surprized myself how good it looked once it was done. and it was simple.
