Rifle # 2 Done

[agill]

I finished my second build.
50 cal. Chambers' York with extra fancy wood
Stock finish: LMF Nut Brown stain and Jim Chmabers' Traditional Oil Stock Finish
Barrel: LMF Rust Blued
Ramrod finish: Fiebing's Medium Brown leather dye
Barrel coned with Joe Wood's coning tool


I know there is room for improvement, but it was fun building the rifle as well as my skills. Thanks for looking-Allen

Very very nice. I'm contemplating a Chambers' Lancaster. I'd be extremely happy if mine came out as nice as yours.

:thumbsup:

Looks pretty darn good to me. :thumbsup:

Are you SURE that is only the second one? Beautiful!

Nice, I like your carving on the butt-stock behind the cheek piece. To me personally guns with to much fancy carving back there is unattractive, but you have a nice and simple design. :thumbsup:

how did you write your name on the barrel, wanting to do my guns that way. thanks

Thanks bowkill. I painted the area with LMF Engraving and Layout White. Then I wrote my name with a pencil. Then I chased the writing with a graver. I practiced first on a scrap piece. I wished I had practiced more, but I'm happy with it. Allen

Thanks everyone for the kind words. :hatsoff: Makes me want to build another gun. I need a fowler for turkey season!

Nice rifle! Like Simon, I think the carving is nice. Good job. :thumbsup: GW

 

[agill]

Thanks again everyone! :hatsoff:

For anyone who wants to know, I got the idea for the cheekpiece carving and wrist from the Petor Resor rifle in Peter Alexander's The Gunsmith of Grenville County. I didn't copy it all.

I got the carving design ideas for the wood box lid, behind the breech and tang, and behind the entry pipe from Dale Johnson's The Johnson Record A Collection of Patterns for the Muzzleloader Builder.
