He not only makes great looking guns but is incredibly fast at it. It seems that every other day he is posting a new one on Facebook. He either has an army of elves building guns or the man just doesn't sleep.
 
Beautiful gun mate, I'll follow them on insta. Seeing photos of flintlocks always makes the day a little better.
I found him on IG. He does fine work. I got a trade gun which is just about as plain a gun as they made at the time. I wanted a gun that would represent the gun a poor farmer would have had on the frontier, or, a gun tradeed to the native American's. His trade gun fills the bill nicely. I think the fit of wood to metal and finish on wood is better than it would have been back in 1700's. I shot it for the first time yesterday. It functioned perfectly, towards the end the flint was getting dull and I had a few misfires.
