(would have loved Swedish rifles like this :cry.In many ways it resembles my Rigby replica-rifle :shocking:.
ARILAR :: :thumbsup:

Whoa, hang on a mo', let's not get carried away, this is nothing like a Rigby.

Well, unless Rigby once carved a stock with one hand tied behind his back, using only a small hand axe and after drinking 10 pints of John Smiths best :shocking:

Well lets see here Robin,
Are you refering to my Rigby replica as beeing of low quality :curse:? I feel a bit offended ::. Maybe your new toy doesnt look Irish after all :blah:.
ARILAR :: :thumbsup:

Maybe it was Rigby's brother-in-law. :crackup:

No, I think it was made by Ignitious Rigby. Iggie for short.

When he was 5, his uncle bought him a pocket knife. He was so delighted with his gift, he proceeded to turn the oak dinning room table into a pile of kindling.
It is said that by the age of 10, he and his knife could down a 100 year old sycamore in less than a days time!!

In his later life, he went to work for the Filmore Rifle Stock Company & Gun Works in downtown Liege, Belgium. ::
They supplied guns to some of the street vendors in Nogales, Mexico where often was heard "Hay meeester, you wanna buy a nice Rigby?" :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:

Actually, we aren't part of Mexico YET. Maybe L.A. and a few other large cities, but the rest of us are still U.S. citizens for now. :shake:

 

[arilar]

Rebel,
Dont wanna disappoint you but in a geographical sentence Mexico belongs to America and even North-America ::!
Guess you just have to live with it :: eace:
ARILAR :: :thumbsup:

 

[Rebel]

Please tell me it tain't so. :: Shoot, that means Canada is a part too. What shall we do? Woa is me :crackup:

"English" bar lock. Why would an American waste good steel when wood is so plentiful? Apprenticed engraved, or Master on a Friday night.
