Here is an Build for a gentleman at work. It is a 50 caliber early gun in my preferred style, Colerain b weight swamped barrel at 42 inches. Large Colonial lock (tuned) , simple pinned trigger at 2lbs of pull. The metal furniture is moderately engraved in a simple style, and the stock shows a fair (better than expected for a grade 1 blank) level of pattern. The rifle weighs in at just over 7 pounds, and has about about 1 inch of cast off for him. The patch box features and eagle silhouette per his request, and the button is a hidden screw on the top of the butt plate. I hope you all enjoy this rifle.

Anyone have any idea how to rotate images on your posts? they are the correct position on my computer but they end up all wonky on here..

For starters, I would suggest sizing them down a bit. I think the large size overpowers our software!
You do good work! That is a lovely rifle.

He's a big boy with a big wingspan! That amount seemed to be the best lol! Quite a crooked gun but he's shooting good!
