Bryon said:ok ok ...so heres a few more pics as requested....I kinda got a little creative (IE: showy) with some other pretty things lol. So the rifle stated life as a full custom assemblage of parts. This rifle was started years ago by a local gunsmith by the name of James Tawney who was very well known in our area as a high quality builder of guns. this rifle was started for a customer and never finished. now fast forward 20 ish years....to the day i came across these rifles sitting in the corner. Must have been at least a dozen....and pistols too! I worked up a deal witht he owner of the gun store (Joe Seeley) that is i sold the guns i could ahe my pick of one . guns were sold...i got this rifle. now for ther specs:
its a .45 cal ohio style rifle
The barrel is a very heavy 15/16 diam 32" long, has 7 lands and grooves.
The lock is marked DGW? (no idea there) and is the traditional flat mainspring....and its shiny!
The stock from what i can tell is an amzing piece of either claro...or bastogne walnut. It has a double set trigger marked "roller 83" (again i ahve no idea about it) with a nice crisp release. All the hardware is nickel silver...with some nice inlay in the nose cap. The ramrod is pushing 25years old....and im not about to see how strong it is . so heres the pics! Again i would like to give a HUGE thanks to SLEEPERNY for his outstanding work bringing this rifle to life...It definatley would not be in its current state without him
