Because I got my 50 post today and got a 36 cal badge I thought I'd post a pic of my 36 cal.

That's a real beauty. Who was the builder?

 

[jackley]

I bought the rifle from a member here. Then after taking about 4 lbs of wood off it this is what I ended up with. I did the finish on the wood and metal.

Looks great...
much improved and it feels good when you have some skin in the game.

Nice looking gun. Always been a fan of those darkly stained ones with the lightness peaking out. How does it shoot?

 

[jackley]

Shoots real nice and is a pleasure to carry, very light weight. Just wish I had the eyes to shoot it like I used to.

Sweet! I bet it is fun to shoot.

What a beaut!

Oh my! She's gorgeous! Thank you for sharing sir!

 

[Brokennock]

Man I like that. Wish I'd spotted it for sale. Seems every time I see a .36 for sale it has one of those deep crescent butt plates I hate so much. Good score for you, I hope it helps you make lots of squirrel pie.

You did a very nice job on it. Looks great! :thumbsup:

wow- beautiful looking rifle!

 

[jackley]

Thanks for the compliments. I'm not a gun builder or even want to be one. But this one turned out. Its hard to put that rasp to the wood that first stroke. And then, When do I stop? I've got a rifle that took 10 years to build, Because I was afraid I would ruin it. So the moral is, If I can do it so can most any body. Just go slow.Good Luck.

That is one very fine rifle. The 3/4" barrel (my .36 has one) sure does keep that weight feathery.

Worth the wait I'd say. Nice! :hatsoff:
