Hello everyone, Here's the latest piece I've finished up. Inspired by the guns of Rupp, its a 54 caliber, iron mounted smooth Schimmel. The barrel is a Colerain smooth 54 caliber at 44 inches long, a tuned Dale Johnson lock, basic single trigger at 2lbs of pull. The stock is a lower grade curly maple treated with AF, trans-tint honey amber, and Lancaster maple stain, 4 coats of tried and true varnish oil, Lop 14 inches and overall weight is just at 6lbs. Thank you all for your time

Pretty much what Ettore said in his first post - 44" swamped Colerain full octagonal smoothbore bbl that measures .54 at the muzzle, Chambers Dale Johnson lock, single trigger with about a 2lb pull, 14" LOP, 6.2lbs unloaded weight, maple stock with some figuring that was finished with iron nitrate for the stain under a varnish sealer. I've cast up .515" balls that I'll use with .015" lubed pillow ticking patches. A very nice smoothie indeed!

It certainly looks like the same gun Ettore posted! I haven't been here in a couple of days, did he put it up for sale or did you snag it with a private offer? No matter, we need a report on how she shoots. You are to be congratulated!

Ettore had it up for sale at ALR and that's where I bought it. I was really looking for a .62 but this one looked real nice ... I like "plain Jane" guns. 8) :wave
