Shooting the .40 Caliber Bucks County Rifle

[duelist1954]

Last week I showed you the sighting in procedure for the re-barreled Bucks County rifle. This week I took the Bucks gun to Duelist's Den for some fun.

I watched your YouTube videos on the building of this gun. If I understand correctly this was once a lehigh inspired long rifle. You did a really nice job and thanks for sharing. I am also excited to see that you are a fellow resident of the keystone state. Keep up the wonderful work,
String.

I enjoyed your video. I also shoot a .40 cal. longrifle and find it is the most enjoyable to shoot. :hatsoff: Pappy

Great video -- good performing rifle - nice shooting also like your new shirt :thumbsup: . You are muli-talented :bow: . What is the material for the shirt and where did you buy it? How about the pattern for the shirt - I like it, might have to make me one :hmm: ?

Good vid.
Nice shooting set-up you have there.
Poor squirrel. :wink:
Obvious you enjoy both the avocation and rifle. :hatsoff:

Always a good time Mike!

Hey, on the nicely-done shirt (love the heart-reinforced neck and matching cravat you Beau Brummell you), may I make a suggestion to make it $1,010? Cut side seems or a slit in the front up to your hips and whip-stitch the new edges. The shirt is so long (maybe it's even difficult to run in) that, I'm telling you, you will sit down in it and soon the sides, if you're lucky, will start to rip anyway. Don't...

..and someday you'll remember back to this post and hang your head.

I'm sure our shirts were made from the same pattern, including the heart reinforcement. Can't say for certain, because I bought mine.

Great video, as usual. .40s are a pile of fun, I love mine.

Zug, the material is heavy weight linen from the http://www.fabrics-store.com/

No pattern, shirts are easy, though I do like to check in "Sketchbook '76"

 

[duelist1954]

Spence, I have a couple of shirts that Frances of Ft. Downing Traders made for me that have the heart...thought I'd copy it on mine.

 

[duelist1954]

Thanks for the advice Alden.

That's a very nice rifle, too.

That's why I like mine, it's just a shirt.
