SS336, I don't "get' the inlays. I make them. The wire (ribbon) I buy from Muzzleloader Builders Supply in Idaho unless I use gold. For gold I cut my own from sheet. The larger inlays I cut myself with a saw and files from sheet sliver, german silver or mild steel. The carving and =engraving are all hand done by me.

Deer stalker, I have purchases my good maple for over 25 years from Freddie Harrison in Tennessee, but sadly, a few years ago he passes away. I stopped taking new work about 4 years ago so I can get caught up on my back long. So I don't know for sure but his daughter Jessica Cox was running the wood business after Freddie died and I think she still is Try her at harrisongunstocksgmail.com.


because of my deep back-log I am not taking much new work, but I do love making muzzleloaders and I have earned probably 85 to 90 percent of my living doing that for many years now. There is not a lot of money to be made when you see how many hours it takes to do good work, but I love it and I am willing to take my "wages" not just in cash but in the joy of doing something I love. A wise man once said "A man that loves his job will never work a day in his life" I agree.

For those that said they like more plane guns I'll attach a few more pics here. Not Lancaster's but nice traditional muzzleloaders.
