Great work on that rifle. It is beautiful. It makes me want to break out my stock and .62 cal barrel I bought years ago and finish mine up too.

Thanks all for the kind remarks. This piece was inspired by a barrel purchased from a forum member. I appreciate all the contributions made by fine folks here.

Just bought a 62 caliber “Dixie gun” barrel at the log cabin trade fair. I would be very satisfied if it looked as good as yours when finished.

Outstanding! All of the design elements that I personally like in just the right amounts. Splendid workmanship. Truly one of the best rifles I’ve ever seen. You sir, are a craftsman.
