My latest creation

[Stophel]

here is my latest gun. A 1760's plain rifle inspired by the gun Shumway illustrated in the May 1988 Muzzleblasts. My cheekpiece is nicer though...

Walnut stock, which was a PAIN to finish (remind me to never use walnut again....). .50 cal, 38" bbl. big English lock.

This gun is mine...All this time and I still didn't have a pre-rev rifle for myself...

Good luck

Hi Liver just wanted to say thanks for the post you made the other day about how to get your photos up on here. I appreciate it, you did a good job especially considering a dummy like me could understand it.

That's real nice! And a beautiful piece of walnut! :thumbsup:

The file work and shaping of the triggerguard and butt are top notch, crispy flats and channels, not rounded off bulbous muck.
A great job, without a doubt.
