Here is an example of my builders work.

This rifle is owned by another friend of mine.

I will get to see it in person this weekend.  It's likely that all the carving will be done by then. 
This is my once in a lifetime custom flintlock rifle and I'm sure excited to watch it come together.  I promise to answer all questions and give the details when it's finished and delivered.

It's the many things we don't do that totally sets us apart.

I got to handle it this past weekend.  The balance, fit, and weight is better than I imagined it could be!
