looks nice, but should be more used and beat for it to be a working man's rifle. :grin:

My preferred decoration is in the carving of the stock wood and fine engraving upon the metal parts and inlays. Not to be overly done. Just enough to show off the gunsmiths skills and abilities. This is what makes a common tool into a work of art. It is art that was designed to be used as a tool and a joy to behold.

Very well said, Captain! And might I add a very beautiful rifle as well. :hatsoff:

 

[Mickc01]

Very impressive! Thanks for sharing. :hatsoff:

Hey LaBonte , I like that rifle ,can you give details. :thumbsup:

 

[LaBonte]

The rifle is an old Dixie Lancaster rifle. The gent wanted it to look something that an Indian had carried, repaired and decorated over several years this the wear, rawhide repairs, and tacks.

The basic ideas came from originals such as this trio of Lemans

along with several others....
