Tip Curtis Bucks Cty, Lancaster (or other patterns) Rifle photos?

[MTCossack]

I've been on the phone with Tip Curtis who, as you may know, doesn't have a website and doesn't send photos of his guns. He has some Lancasters and Bucks county guns that would fit my requirements, and those two styles of longrifle are very attractive to me. Can anyone share photos of theirs or link to others who've posted these? I know generically what's commonly associated with a Lancaster or Bucks County pattern, but I'd like to see his specifically.

While we're at it, any photos illustrating his many patterns of rifle and fowler would be welcome. Thanks!

Check out the websites of other vendors of rifles and kits. Most do have pics. Tip has a good reputation but there are others who sell excellent products also.

I understand and have done so. I just want to see Tip's work and his take on these styles specifically. I thought it might be useful to others as well.

Check out Track of the Wolf's Web-site for photos of the "styles" your considering.

As far a "Tip" he is a good builder, he was at the Western Shoot this year with a lot of offerings.

His build are better then some, not as good fancy as others, but the man does his own work, and I would say he take pride in what he does.

Tips use quality parts, and not second rate components like some other builder use.

He would like to see pictures of Tip's work and specifically Lancaster and Bucks County styles. I wouldn't mind seeing them either.

I will not link another site, because the Moderator might get ticked off with me.

But I just put "TIP CURTIS FRONTER SHOP" in Google and several site popped up with the photo you see.

Don't tell the Mods, or they might BAN me.

But they the photos are their plus what folk think, of the guy work. :thumbsup:

Do a search for Tips guns on this site. I found one with good pictures but when I try to post a link it comes up incomplete and won't work.

When I edit my post it shows as complete in the edit box and will work. I don't know why the copy and paste function takes out part of the link.

Use any of the search engines such as Google or Bing. Enter Tip Curtis Muzzleloaders. When the search returns, click on the "images of tip Curtis guns".


You will find plenty of pictures to look at.

Yes. Yes I did. Thank you.

 

[MTCossack]

Thanks for the ideas, everyone. I've done plenty of searches on the search engines. I can find some photos of his work, but very few that identify the specific pattern.

I'd love to see something that can be positively identified as one of his Lancasters, Bucks, or York style rifles.

Here's my Tip Curtis 16 gauge Smoothbore, 44 " Colerain Oct. to round barrel. Cyl. Bore L & R Lock.

Tip's Pre Revolutionary style flintlock rifle.
.54 cal. 42" Swamped Colerain Barrel Pete Allen Lock

Both guns have an amazingly light trigger pull.

I don't know if you're wanting a complete gun, or a precarve stock/parts set. I don't build guns from precarve stocks, in fact, I loathe them in general, but last time I saw Tip several years ago, I was actually favorably impressed with his precarved stocks and finished guns. I would say at least a big step or two above the average precarved stock pattern. :wink:

Do a forum search for posts by Fred Lehto. He's your go-to guy on Bucks County guns. Lots and lots of pictures. He's done a fair number of Lancasters too.

Thanks for the kind words.....just trying to show some features of Bucks County LRs. .... characteristic cheek star, entry pipe w/ a long finial, side opening Pbox, curled trigger. Usually a reddish brown stock color and very slim architecture. Some comblines are straight but most are curved and the toelines on nearly all are curved. The Bplate return usually has a "thumbnail" as do both finials of the TG......Fred
