How can one possibly make up his mind on choosing between those two? That would drive me insane.I would have to have them both. :v

 

[Rusty Spur 82]

You are killing me.Now I need to have a squirrel rifle.Something like yours would do me very well.I am afraid that I would sit by a tree and look at the rifle more then I would glass the tree tops though.

That is as much of huntin(maybe more :idunno: )as seeing game....

 

[hoochiepapa]

Rusty, that's what making a rifle is all about. Although I try not to look too hard, 'cause then I'll more see mistakes. :haha:

 

[Mike Brooks]

Go ahead and post some pics Mike, I suspect you are well booked out and have a very specific customer base so I see no attempt at "self promotion" being an issue,...

...just try to do it with some class the way roy does...

I'll be sure to PM you my intended post for your approval before I post it on the board. :haha:

"Now what is the call for a wisecrack like that?"

Exactly, no need at all and in review most crap starts with remarks from the "other" side of the fence from what I have seen, I suspect a lot of insecurity is at the bottom of it, if there is no false info, bad advice or the comments do not go beyound a simple difference of opinion in the contents of a post there is no need for a snipe at the poster but in some cases they should be tarred and feathered for steering folks down a pathway lined with a false veneer .IMHO

"How does a rifle with no butt or toe plate hold up?"

The ones I have had held up well, I think that the care used, the grain/quality of the wood is a favctor, I liked to "round off" the edges where a buttplate/toeplate would have been I have seen some use just a toe plate to protect this sensitive area, in the long run original plain guns probably showed more damage/wear than their counterparts with furniture, and I would think that replica types would do the same, but we do have the advantage of being able to use caution at all times now, I often put the butt of the gun on my Moc toe after curling my toes back out of the way to protect the gun when loading, or dropping the cows knee to the grounsd as a pad.

...jeez man ...we already made up a few frames ago.

 

[Twice boom]

Class act. :hatsoff:
Twice

 

[lakota]

Thanks for that info. I passed on a nice rifle once because it was built without a butt or toe plate. I was afraid it would start to split at those areas

 

[gizamo]

Was privileged to meet Roy this past weekend. He was in period gear and I was not. Following day he was in street gear and it was my turn to be in the 18th century...


Finer gentleman, you'd be hard pressed to meet. Roy is a class act, and it was a pleasure to shake his hand.

[scobrien]

I am enjoying looking at the pics posted thus far. Here are a couple of pics of my plain gun, but this one does have a flat brass butt plate.
