Attended a trade fair today lots to see....
At one of the tables set up was a long rifle collector and he was representing the CLA(Contemporary Longrifle Association) drumming up new membership.
He had 7 long rifles and Fowler,s on display along with pistols and horns.
High end contemporary builders. Frank & Hershel House Jerry Scales etc.
It was a pleasure to see and feel(don't tell my wife) these slim trim rifles....not one ounce of extra metal or wood on any of them...I have seen the light ! :shocked2:
Time to fire up the belt sander and hand grinder on all my T/C,s :grin:
Slim and trim with Figured wood wins the day.... :thumbsup:
This is an eye opener for me........
My factory guns will never look the same. :surrender:
Just another step on this flintlock journey...
