Here’s a trio of under hammers. The brass one is a 12ga smoothbore, the next is a 50 cal with a Green Mountain LRH 1-28 and my latest addition is a 62 cal rifle built on a H&A action. Same builder for all. I did the complete metal and wood finish on the rifles. Gunsmith finished the smoothbore completely and completed the other 2 to in the white.

Most of my bp rifles and pistols are in this lock box that I made when my regular gun safe proved too short.

I solved that issue by building a gun safe ROOM.

I picked this rifle up about a month ago. Too cold here to try it out thus far. It is built by Kimball Arms Canada and is patterned after the Vincent style Ohio rifle. It's in 36 caliber and a delightful rifle to shoulder.

You guys keep showing these half stocks and I'm going to have to grab that .45 barrel and what's left of my cherry blank.

Beautiful gun above. Dig'n that heavy stock drop

The heavy stock drop is indicative of an earlier era gun and lines your eye up with the low mounted sights…

Here’s an early Hawken gun that is my favorite. I may add an oval patch box.

Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken, 54. I special ordered a blued barrel as I wasn't fond of the usual plumb brown offering.

That looks very nice and quality awesome. Thanks for posting. Does it pattern good? I'm looking to get one.

She is deadly accurate. She is capable of printing cloverleaf patterns at forty yards from the bench on those sporadic occasions when I do my part correctly. A very nice rifle. No buyer's remorse what so ever.
My only complaint was the epoxy like brown coating on the barrel. It's a very durable finish but not traditional, so I stripped it off and gave it a proper browned finish.

Nice job on the browning, Tacitus, a lovely rifle. You did good; very subtle. As you can see in my post above yours, I special ordered a blued barrel for my 54 RMH, as I thought Pedersoli's brown plumb didn't look authentic. My rifle really likes 60gns FFG (Wano), a soft round ball cast from a 530 Lee mould, with pillow ticking spit patch (square). I use it to hunt. It is a heavy rifle, isn't it? Settles nicely over a rest though. I don't use it as my match rifle as I find it too heavy for prolonged off-hand; I don't have the strength to maintain consistency over a 39 shot match - the Pedersoli Tryon is used instead.
