Back in the mid 70's when I was young and poor; I was given a beautiful full stock blank that was splitabout a foot from the end, making it unusable for a long barreled rifle. I saw a picture of a Boys' Rifle in one of the Pennsylvania rifle books, and decided to try and make one. I was in my early 20's and had made a couple of rifles before. I saved my money and spent pretty much all I had on parts for the gun. I bought a Siler lock and a Green River? 54 cal barrel, as well as german silver castings for the fittings.
I put in a few hundred hours of work in about 3 months and came up with a short, full stock tack driver that handles so well I have used it for over 35 years as my deer rifle.
