Birds Eye Stocked Flintlock I Just Finished

[BruceHH]

Here is a smaller Beck type rifle I finished up today. The components came from Pecatonica and started out from their Beck Boys kit. It is 36 caliber and has a 36" Rice 3/4" octagon barrel that Pecatonica turned down the front portion. Small Siler lock and mostly their brass components and a few of mine. The wood is very dense and was a joy to work.

Without the arn and brass she'd be hard to find if laid down in the winter woods. Beautiful wood and great workmanship.

That's got to be the prettiest wood I've ever seen!

 

[Brokennock]

Wow! Beautiful rifle. And, what a fantastic piece of wood. Only downside is that once the brass tarnishes and darkens a little you won't be able to put it down in the woods without loosing it.

Where do you find a piece of birds eye maple like that? Very dramatic.

Thanks again guys. I found this at Pecatonica. You have to ask for it and you might as well be sitting down when you get the quote. It is not cheap. The wood they have is limited in size and therefore you are limited in what build you can do.
