Pedersoli Kentucky Long Rifle
Uberti Hawken

I believe they were all made in the '90s. None of them have been shot since before 2001.

Here are a few of mine....75 caliber Brown Bess, nice .45 caliber Colonial style (maker unknown), Sitting Fox .62 caliber Trade gun, Centermark .62 caliber Fusil de Chasse and my TVM made .50 caliber Tennessee style rifle. I also have a .54 caliber Hawken that's a cap lock.

My Lancaster from Cresson Mountain Muzzleloaders. Terrific workmanship. I have more than twenty ML rifles, but this is one of the best. Polecat

 

[frankie]

Thanks Dale, the word "exceptional" doesn't do them justice.

Took my TC out for some fun this morning

Dale do you know how many hours he put into the build

I really like that. Small compact and will do the job. Great rifle

Can I play yet? Here's my very first getting closer gem.

 

[Dale Lilly]

No, I bought it from the original owner. He has physical problems that prevent his use. This rifle is also featured on their website [Cresson Mnt]. There is some carving in unusual places and in unusual patterns. I love it but haven't shot it yet. Dale Added: The actual builder is J. {Jeffry I think] Hagens. He is one of the two owner/builders I believe. Dale

Highuntis Very nice. One of the hardest things to do is the butt plate. Getting the contour line of the heel of the plate in line with the top line comb of the stock. You nailed it. Very clean looking.

My latest acquisition a Navy arms Remington zouave from the '70s! I just finished redoing the stock to give it a more authentic look.

Surfinator. This is the reason (your rifle) Im glad this thread got started. Very nice, clean looking. Im assuming that is a 58 caliber. I'm jealous.

Is that the new finish?

Is that the new finish?

Yeah, it soaked up a bunch and dulled. Right after I took that pic I dosed it with BLO again.

I had the same rifle from Navy Arms and bought it in the late 1960s. Eventually sold it for some reason or another. It hunted well, however.
