Jim Kibler got it to me quickly

Hi Guys,
Many years ago I made a rifle for a friend, Steve, and he told he had dream about the gun. In his dream the barrel was completely wrapped by chrome exhaust pipe and there were flame decals on the butt stock. I told him I didn't think I could do the pipes but I sure could put on flame decals. Steve's idea of hunting was waking up in his farm house, spotting a deer from his bedroom window, shooting it, and then going back to sleep for an hour or so before going outside to get it.

Dave, would the dream gun be some sort of tactical flintlock ?

It might. You would have to ask Steve. This was a time when everybody wanted a Hawken rifle. You know from a gun maker's point of view, a Hawken with flame decals might be much more interesting than the originals.

My .58 cal colonial muzzleloader kit is in the mail. I bought a smooth rifle for the adaptability don't see myself shooting 200 yards; too old to see that far anyway.

I have some ideas for finishing but will curb my impatience and go slowly.

I finished mine last week. It turned out beautiful.

And, a Wha-wha lever.

And a tortoise shell trigger guard.
