Wow!!! I didn't know what a craftsman you are. Excellent piece of work.

Outstanding! It looks great and I'd bet it shoots just as good!

Here's the horn I started on Wednesday. Not finished yet. Plan on doing a bit of decorative scratchin' on it before I give it a bit of stain and fabricate a strap. Antler tip powder measure already done. Whole project coming along nicely!!

Very nice horn KW, the days of frosty leaves and buck lung steam drifting up to the morning sun are quickly approaching.

I can really appreciate the time and talent to build that fine looking rifle. I may have missed so excuse me for asking but wondering if all parts were purchased seperately, or some as part of a "kit"? May I ask where you and others buy kits or parts?

Well I still need to brown the lock but here it is. With all the goof ups and mistakes a blind man can put on a build! Be gentle please! ( yeah right,,, on the campfire??? πππ). Anyway I learned much! I know what not to do next time. And I want to thank szihn for his tutelage! He was an emmense help. But please don't hold my efforts against his talent! I know had he been looking over my shoulder several times, there would have been a helping hand placed upon my shoulder and the comments, "are you sure you want to do that???" π Again thanks szihn!! I think it's beautiful, for what it's worth.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

Thanks again fellas! Been shooting it when time allows and it's a shooter. If I get the opportunity I will hunt with it this year.
This rifle is a culmination of several decades of part collecting. LOL! Finally got them all put together. Except for a few smaller items the two main items I purchased for the project was anprecarved stock and lock from Pecatonica Longrifle supply.
