This is my latest rifle project. This rifle was built from a blank. All the metal parts were hand forged except for the barrel and lock. The lock is a modified Jim Chambers lock and the barrel was made by LC Rice. This the first Rice barrel that is in a rifle that I built for me, all the other have gone to customers. I would like to say that it is a very well made barrel, not cheap but worth every penny. I will also put in a plug for Jim Chambers, I have used a lot of locks over the years but Jim's out shines them all.
This rifle is styled after an original that is singed F. Klette on the lock. The origninal was made with brass furniture, my rifle has hand forged steel butt plate, trigger guard, thimbles, trigger, and nose cap. The trigger plate and side plate are made from sheet steel. The front sight blade is coin silver.
I know that there are a few BP guys that visit here but I hope that all will find this interesting.
Any comments are welcomed.
