That rifle is outstanding. In addition to the nice lines and outstanding carving and inlay, I really like the finish which was obtained, on both wood and metal. The coloration and shading is remarkable.

Thanks for posting!

Fine looking rifle there sir. Out of curiosity, what are Livingston County influences? Livingston County, NY? What are the traits that you're referring to?

 

[MIOutdoorsman]

Wow... WOW! That's a beauty for sure..

Ganggreen, I live in Livingston county, NY and can't seem to stop from infusing my thoughts into what I work on, gun's, Acouterments, humor, just about anything. Probably the inlays are the most obvious, but more importantly is a subtle modification of the buttplate and its positioning. None of my Lehigh's are cheek busters and this one is no exception, it is a pleasure to shoot.

Robby, your creation is exactly what I love to see. This is a beautiful example of what a artist can design and execute in metal and wood. No, it does not adhere to the conventional narrow minded period correct thinking where you have to copy a creation of a distant past artist to be acceptable. This is your own creation attesting to your superior artistic abilities. Thank you very much for posting this.

Thank you all for the kind words, they are very much appreciated.
S. Kenton, Years ago I did start to keep track of time spent on a rifle I was working on. It suddenly became not fun. Though I no longer make them for sale, even when I did, it was more of a passion than a onerous task marked by time. Thats just me I guess.
