Title: The rifle of a lifetime
Post by: Steven Goselin on February 19, 2015, 04:28:50 PM
This is a once in a lifetime rifle, at least for me. Last May or so I commissioned  Eric von Aschewege of Neahkahnie Flintlocks to build a Jacob Kuntz style rifle.  Weather permitting I will hook up with Eric this weekend (or next) to take delivery. On Sunday, March 8 I will be 64 and this is my birthday present to myself. Woo hoo! I have not allowed myself to get excited until now.

Another example of "Where does fine art stop and the rifle begin?"  Or visa versa.  Whatever.  That is one fine rifle.  Congrats.
