Wow, some of those rifles are the equivalent of a playboy centerfold.

It is a touch bright now that you mention it lol. Will have to try some stain or something on it.

don't stop now!!! need more so I can see what I really like before jumping in and spending 2 much !!

I don't actually own many.
I have a 50 cal Freddie Harrison the Freddie gave me a few years before he died, and I have one of my own, a 62 cal transnational American Jaeger.
I make them to earn about 90% of my living, so I seldom can work on any for myself.

If posting pictures of guns I have made for others is OK, I'll put them up, but of the rifles I have made,only this one is owned by me.

Damn, Szihn! I need a cigarette now!!!!

That was good!!!!

What kinds of muzzleloaders do you like the most?

I can maybe post pictures of what you like. I have made a lot of them over the last 50 years or so. I made my 1st rifle when I was 12, and my first muzzleloader when I was 13-14. I don't have pictures of many of them, but I do have some.

Got any big bore Jaeger pics Szihn?

NO! NO!!! DONT DO IT!!!

Only if CO outlaws 58 caliber round balls. Need a back up plan.

Sorry Kaywoody..............too late
