Finished up #39

[BLAHMAN]

Just finished up number 39, it going to a fella in Nescopeck PA. She is a 32 flinter, haven't shot her yet.

Made the patchbox, butplate and thimbles. The barrel is an older Rayl blank that is rifled in gain twist....don't know what the gain is....the trigger is handmade, pinned to the stock and the guard is one I bought out of a junk box, an old original of some sort...works well on the rifle.

I asked the owner if he would like anything special on the gun and he asked for a heart in the cheekpiece...well, there it is, made of coin silver with his deceased wifes initials engraved in it....

GREAT looking rifle! :thumbsup: Really like the patchbox and metal finish. The wood has a lot of figure. Is it maple? GW
