Thanks - This was probably the biggest labour of love I've ever got into.. woodworks from an apple branch from the garden, Barrel and lock plate are pattern welded recycled wrought iron/steel. Trigger guard's welded cable, and the hammer's rasp/mild steel pattern welded. » reply  Great Work

That is beautiful, man. What a work of art. I like this a whole lot. Made one of these from a kit with my son the winter before he was going to turn 11. Then gave it to him for his birthday in the spring of that year. But that is a kit gun, no matter what it has in the way of memories. This is great. Rick Crawford at Smoky Forge » reply Flintlock

Thank you so much - wish we still had such a healthy attitude to shooting in this country as you guys in North America..I think that musta been a fine present for a boy. Most people over here would be horrified! » reply |

Hi Will,
I know absolutely nothing about guns, but I can still appreciate a hand made weapon.Its beautiful. Did you make this from scratch?I bet its a hoot to shoot.
