I just used MS Paint to resize it, and then a free download program called Picasa (Google it) to adjust color, sharpen it up a little, & lighten it up a bit. Easy to do once you play with it a little.

Here is the free download link to Picasa ...

check out the picture of me with the deer on the previous page (I'm still photo challenged and didn't really feel like messing with trying to move the picture). The rifle I'm holding in that picture is one Jack Garner made.

Hey Davey,

How do you like your rifle from TVM? I ordered one for myself and should be finished in four months.
I had a Durrs Egg flintlock put on it and went with their Southern Patchbox (not bananna), all iron hardware-non poor boy with the super premium stock. The picture looks awesome, how does it shoot too?

 

[RiverRat]

WOW--WEE.....those guns are gorgeous! Tell me about the darker one with the vent pick. :applause:

I know I'm not Davey, but since you're having one made and you asked about them, I love mine. I don't know when it was made 'cause my dad bought it used and I gave it to me later. However, it's great. It's very steady on target, mostly 'cause it is kinda muzzle heavy. But you get used to the weight and feel. I can usually put a .495 prb touching a 1" to 2" target off-hand at 15 yards. Last woods walk I went 15 for 16 targets off-hand with it. If I do my part, it's deadly accurate.

I'm positive that you'll love yours too. Just nice, simple, sleek, and elegant. Even just pulling it out and holding it makes me feel good :thumbsup:

All this talk got me to dig out the parts for my next project. I don't believe in rushing into them as I've owned these 20 years or more. I've been sidetracked for a while. Oh well, next year I'll have something to do when I retire.

3/4" x .40 Ron Griffie barrel, Dixie lock, Griffie wood.

reddogge; 20 years!!!?? :hmm: Iffin ya would, send me that pile of stuff and I'll try n salavage some of it. Get a pistol bbl or two outta that old rusted rifle bbl. Woods probably starten ta rot by now. I'm sure I could get a couple of knife handles and Iffin I'm lucky, a pistol blank out of it.. :grin: I'm willin to pay postage and sumnpin for your time. No need for thanks.. :rotf: :rotf:

 

[reddogge]

Yep, I lost the fire but am regaining it again. I'm ashamed I let it sit so long. I actually bought it for someone else but they never would commit to the project and I got sidetracked by years and years of dog training, decoy carving, duck hunting.

 

[sniper68]

The fire may have died down abit, but there will always be those embers down deep. Tis the the way of the Black Powder disease.. Looks likes some beatiful wood!! .40 cal 3/4 bbl.... :hmm: Peffect balance fer about a 39" bbl.:thumbsup:

 

[jkingrph]

Got one of the Caywood Southern Mountain Rifles cal 36. Shoots nice.

My God, there are some really talented SOB's on this site! Thanks, guys, I really appreciated the information in addition to the eye-candy. Enough to make a New England boy head south!

When yuh git here put up a sign sayin' "I weren't born here, but I got here as quick as I could." Shows the proper attitude. :winking:

 

[Cherokee]

I thought I was bad pushing stuff back 2 years!

 

Reddogge, I see yer usin the slow cold browning method :rotf:, personally I'd upgrade that lock, that piece of wood desreves better! Bill

 

[reddogge]

What should I use? Those locks always functioned great when tuned right.
