Flintlock Rifle

[melsdad]

I started a build from a blank a few years ago. I am determined to have this rifle complete by this hunting season. I am to the point of stock shaping.

Still have a ways to go yet. But it is starting to look like a rifle now.

Wow! But inquiring minds want to know. Details please.............

 

[melsdad]

It is a .40 caliber 13/16" straight octagon Rice barrel. The stock is sugar maple with some curl to it. The rifle is loosely based on a Lancaster style.

Brian, you never fail to impress! Can't wait to see how this finishes up.

 

[melsdad]

Thanks Andre!

I'll try to keep progress updates coming.

You'll like the .40. Great work!
