My first BP Firearms

[Pogo57]

These are my first BP firearms. The rifle is a Traditions Kentucky Rifle kit that I put together and the second is a Colt 2nd Generation F-Series 3rd Model Dragoon.

Is that everybody's first BP rifle?

Mine, after tuning, accounted for more squirrels than every other rifle I've owned, combined. In a fit of stupidity I let mine slip away and haven't been the same since. I do wish it had been a flinter, though.

Nice job on your rifle. I put together the same kind by CVA. I rushed it so it didn't come out as nice as yours. Still it's a tack driver and love to shoot it.

looks good. I have the same rifle except mine is flinter. I just ordered some stuff so i can strip mine down and restain the stock. Went with TOW Antique formula Original oil finsh. Hope it works good because i and sick of tru-oil.

Nice guns. I have one of them Kentuckys. Mines the CVA .45cal version. I love it. It`s accurate, and has taken it`s share of game over the years. It`s my most shot smokepole. :thumbsup:

very fine looking too me, you are off to a fine start, congrats, P. I have one of those kit rifles from a widow and I shoot it once a year and it is a very fine shooting rifle

I like your rifle. From the picture, it looks like you do not have a shiny finish on it. Just in my mind, that is how I envision a rifle that was used a lot from the frontier.

But I like Recon's rifle also. It has the shiny finish. That red background brings it out and the brass shine.

We have a good contrast of the two ways to do the finish on a rifle---having a shiny finish, or knocking the shine off.

Good jobs on both rifles.
