Received this yesterday from Steve Zihn, of Shoshoni Wyoming.
.36 cal., 38" tapered Moonie barrel, 12 3/4" pull and weighs 7.4lbs. Top notch workmanship. :bow:
Super shweeet!! :hmm: I think I'm going to thin out my Squirrel Rifle's. :( To many high tech caplocks...

Nice looking rifle, Sniper. Is that a piece of cherry. Beautiful incised carving.

I don't see any J&S Hawkens in your collection. :grin:

BTW, do you know which trigger guard this rifle has on it? I like the looks of it.
 
beautiful, i know steve ,he is indeed one of the best , im betting that the sqs.are in deep ka-ka- in your woods :thumbsup:
 
Thanks Cooner54. Yea, its Cherry. Steve does great carving in both metal and wood. You two would make one heck of a team. :bow: :hatsoff:
The trigger guard is more like a John Sheetz, but the butt plate is a lot wider then his. Yer Hawken ain't goin nowheres. :youcrazy: :nono:

Really nice squirrel rifle! That southern rifle immediately above it is very pretty too...what's the story on that one?
:hmm: looks a lot like my Sells .54 I named "Zilpha".

I bought it off Gunbroker. Guy said it hadn't been fired in about 25 years. A LITTLE bore scrubbin required :shake:, but no rust. :)
7/8" x 42" .50cal Orion bbl. I converted it to flint. Neetly engraved on the top flat "Roger E. Sells XXI". Mint condition and shoots sub 1" groups @ 50 yards. :grin:
I should of, but didn't :cursing:. the guy had a MATCHING pistol in .45 cal. :(

Good grief, Sniper! Yer about as gun poor as meself! Fine lookin' collection of shooters!
 
Yes I saw that rifle in the white. I was up at Steve's place picking up a .54 Southern Rifle thats a real beauty.

The picture does not show just what a neat little rifle that is. It is a real fine fire arm. The other fact is that that it was made way out in the sage brush behind a butte. It is at the end of a trail going into Hidden Valley. :thumbsup:
 
Sniper68 - Now I remember...you posted a photo of it when you bought it and said you were converting it to flint. Next time I talk to Roger I'll mention "Rifle #21" :grin:

Nice collection; they all are beauties, that's for sure :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 
sniper,
Great looking group of B/P rifles,both
F/L and C/L.
snake-eyes:thumbsup:
 
sniper68, that's a fine looking bunch of rifles there!!
The cherry stock and carving are beautiful. :thumbsup:
Can you tell me more about how you made that nice gunrack?

As I'm planing on moving soon, it's temporary. Two precut oak thresholds at Home Depot, some $1.99 es coat hooks from Walmart and some felt padding on the hooks...
 
Thank you very much! :thumbsup:
I wasn't sure if the wood was available commercially or if you cut it and routed the edges yourself. Sure makes a great looking gun rack though.
We got a security system installed in the house last week so the ML's are gonna come out of hiding and go on the wall now. They wouldn't fit in the safe. :shake:
