That is a beauty sir, I only wish I could do as well!

Jedidiah the wriggle engraving is at the muzzle of the rifle. It's done with a wide flat graver that is rock back and forth.

Here is a North Carolina Deep river school rifle that I'm just finishing up. It has a FCI barrel that's 46" long and .45 caliber. The lock is a Chambers late Keyland with Davis set trigger plate and internals with my triggers. All other hardware I made.

That's a beauty, could you tell me how you finished your barrel?

As always beautiful work Mr. Barker!

Hatman, my steel and iron gets a good rusting from Dangler's browning solution then I simmer it in hot water till it turns black. Pull it out and scrub it back, usually with a green 3M pad and WD40 until I get the look I want.

I like the unexpected design of the patch box lid. A few rifles made around the Pittsburgh area have unusual metal lids on them . Yours is quite interesting from the Carolinas.

I will publically make a very unselfish offer. Send that rifle my way and I would be glad to take it out and do some shooting and report my scientific findings. I will also graciously offer a free cleaning service after each time I take it. Heck, I will even throw free storage space in a climate controlled safe to sweeten the deal. I know, I know, it's taking one for the team but I need to take the high road here.
