Here she is. Photos are not good. I took them quick right after it finished putting the rifle together. Ill try to get some outside shots soon.
Andrew Verner style stock from Pecatonica river. 42 inch, 13/16ths Rice straight octagon barrel, Chambers large Siler lock, Davis double set triggers. Side plate and toe plate, and the little diamonds for the barrel pins are home made from sheet brass from the hardware store. Hunters star and nose cap are store bought.
Stock stained with BC walnut stain. About 7 coats of linseed oil thinned with turoentine applied , as well as 3 coats of BC stock wax.
I probably should have taken the wrist and forearm down a little more but I am happy with the resullts.
