[tworoosters]

#172 Made by Richard Miller for the NMLRA Gun Maker's Hall in 2013. This rifle dubbed "Apricot Dandy" as marked on the side plate, is stocked in Apricot wood, handmade iron mountings by Dick himself, 35-3/4" .45 Caliber Green Mountain barrel with bright clean bore, Chambers Late Ketland Flintlock, White Lightnin' touch hole liner and weighs just 6lbs 11oz.
This is probably the most beautiful rifle I've owned and it's in fantastic shape. The apricot stock is even prettier than the pictures can capture and the seamless fitment of the iron mountings is incredible. This will make a fine addition to someone's collection!

I am sure the stock is beautiful. But the pics are just showing very dark wood. Can you show anything which presents the particular attraction of this apricot wood? Curl? Figure? Grain?

That is one awsome looking piece of art.I don't know much at all about PC but everything about that rifle screams original
The way no doubt they were built in the day.
The butt end comb & toe are cool.

Beautiful, the wood has aspects of both beech and ash wood , very nicely done!

It is a darker stock, but the wood's figure is fairly distinct from the other more common types used. The picture with the piece of paper actually captures the grain pretty well in that part of the stock. The second picture here shows what the forend looks like in the sun.
