southern style with swamped barrel

[oldarmy]

I agree. I have sold most of my centerfire collection to fund my new hobby. That being said. it's so much fun and I learn so much from building my own.
I always wanted to be an artist. here is a chance to creat beautiful things out of wood and steel/brass that actualy have a function..
The southern style.. NC, TENN,ETC has a simple eleagance that appeals to me.

Thanks, I have learned a lot since then.

That's a great nose cap.
I have a .45 cal getz "A" superlight barrel coming.
Thanks Mr Brook :hatsoff:
I know the southern style..Tenn, NC usualy had plain wood, but I would like to mount the barrel in a nicly figured piece of maple, and fully dress her with steel furniture, small siler lock.
I might go with cherry, it's a little darker. What do you think???

You're welcome sir! :hatsoff: I've seen alot of original Tenn. guns in super curley wood so go for it! I'd ditch the small siler and go with Chamber's late Ketland lock. It's one of the best functioning and quickest locks on the market, and is correctly styled for your project.

great photo, and great muzzle cap. i've got similar one in the works with a Colerain 42" 'A' profile with radius groove rifling. the nice folks a Pecatonica sent me the prettiest hunk of maple i've ever held in my grubby hands, and i will eventually (i hope) make it as good looking as yours. i put a horn muzzlecap on my wife's, which came out looking really nice, if not PC.

make much smoke, be happy!
