Took Mr Beck to the woods

[Eric Krewson]

I have been working on this gun for more years than I like to admit. First build and a scratch one at that. When ever I got stumped on what to do next I would put it aside for a day, week, or month(or 2 or 3).

I finally quit bow making long enough to almost finish it, except for browning the barrel, and decided to take it to the woods yesterday. Got a fat doe about 10:00 yesterday morning.

The gun is a loose rendition of a Beck rifle because of my inexperience as a builder, but a good shooter none the less. 54 cal Rice barrel, deluxe Chambers lock, brass parts cast from moulds from an original Beck and wood from Dunlap.

Nice one Eric ! I went for a while yesterday but didnt do anything. The club joining my property was running dogs and the whole area was a mess.Saw one doe and she was wide open when came by my stand.

Nice looking rifle.

Beautiful!

Mr. Rice makes a nice barrel (and is a hoot on the telephone). I've got one of his .54s on Cherry Girl.

Nice deer and nice rifle!

Stumpy, if you enjoy LC's humor, you should make the trip to Dixon's fair next time LC puts a seminar on. I passed up a Getz barrel and put a Rice on Ruth a few years ago just 'cause of LC's talk. He really knows his barrel-making stuff.
