A Kit for a Rifle

[davec2]

A friend of mine on the ALR site (Marc) made and posted a new shot pouch that I really liked I sent him a note about it and, in a more than generous exchange on his part, I am now the proud owner of said bag. I told Marc that, in keeping with some shooter's habit of setting up a bag, horn, and complete kit for each rifle, I wanted to pair his bag with a rifle I built 6 years ago and a fairly plain silver mounted horn I did some time back as well. Here is the result.....I thought I would share this with all of you as well. Thanks again to Marc and Merry Christmas to all.......

Very nice set-up. Love the powder horn. Are the plug and throat Ebony wood?

Steve,

The nor tip is turned black horn. The base, cascabel, and spout plug are all turned ebony. The base and throat collars are sterling silver. The cascabel is threaded and unscrews to fill the horn.

Nice pairing.

a fairly plain silver mounted horn

That's like "military intelligence," not sure you can have, "fairly plain," and, "silver mounted," together. Especially not at the level of work you do.
Marc makes great stuff, I've enjoyed his posts on the ALR, heck of a friendly guy too.
That all comes together very nicely.

Great looking rifle, bag and horn! Looks like a well matched set-up. That silver really pops.

Sweet pair.

Nice setup!

I agree with @Brokennock, there's nothing "plain" about that rig. It is, instead, all class, understated elegance. Absolutely gorgeous. I'm going to just stay over here, absolutely jealous!

Classic, elegant and inspiring work!

That's a work of art!!!
