With big obligings to good ol' Don (Roaddog), my new squirrel squeezer - and she's a beauty!

She's very nice and looks well put together.  That's the type of rifle and finish level that I would order if and when I decide to expand my collection too, and I like that the inlays are subtle and not flashy but add distinction.

the wrist and left side back have acorns, the left side center has a starburst, the right side center is (i believe) a two headed eagle.

i just like what i like in the way a muzzle loader looks and performs.  i'm not into all that pc/hc stuff, so i have new clue as what era (if any) this rifle falls into, hence no clue about the rectangular trigger guard - only jack garner (or maybe roaddog) could possibly answer why he built her the way he did.  she's a keeper for me. :)

did some searching and the tvm catalog lists this trigger guard as ...

SOUTHERN STYLE TRIGGER GUARD
This style trigger guard is my favorite for any Southern rifle. We use this style guard mostly on our 'poor boy' style. It is available in Brass and Steel. Wax Cast Only.
Price:    
Brass    $25.00    Each
Steel    $20.00    Each

I like Southern rifles and own two.  Your J.G. built squirreler is a beaut and a keeper if ever there was one.
