    My first scratch build.

    1st hiccup. The jig that I made for filling my thimbles is too small for this set. I made them bigger because I'm planning on using a thicker ram rod. So, they're sitting until I make another jig.

    My first scratch build.

    My 1st rifle was a pre carved. It turned out. It shoots, but I don't hang it above the fireplace. My 2nd was a pre carved that turned out really great. That one does hang on the wall. I got a good deal on 2 semi carved stocks on here. The butt section was done. The fore arm was still a...

    Build #5

    I took a little time off from the build for other, seemingly more pressing, things in life. Today I finished up the butt plate, final sanding, whiskering, and then started into the finishing.
