    A Horner's Craft On A Longrifle

    Recently took in this rifle on a trade. I was impressed with the fine artistic details that were cut into the plain maple stock on this 45 cal. flintlock. The gun was made by Mike Lange, and I was told the art work was done by Wild Willy Frankfort.

    Another Finishing Question

    I have had great success using Teak Oil as my final stock finish. It dries quickly and leaves a nice warm satin glow to the wood that is not too glossy. The stuff is designed for outdoor use that is exposed to all of the weather elements and that really makes Teak Oil my #1 choice. I will put...

    Who Made It?

    I found an interesting percussion halfstock rifle that was built quite a few years ago (70's?) without a barrel signature.
