Well into my next gun build! This time it's for me, a .54 Beck style, 44" swamped barrel, put a fancy brass plate lock on it, too. Ohhh, I hope I draw a bear tag this fall! ;D   Getting a bit ambitious on this with the carving, pretty much the carving on an original Beck rifle I saw on one of the website archives. Here it is drawn on in pencil, still making some slight changes. This one will certainly test my patience!  |

Little victories! Finally got a thumbpiece inlet with no gaps, no need for any filler, just tight and pinned. An uplifting moment (yeah, doesn't take much for me...)  Continuing on the carving, too...  |

Far more persistance than talent, I'm afraid!

Some time in August I believe. I'll be putting in again. This year I've got three points so my chances should be so-so.
Nice looking gun.

I think this will do! 75 yard sight-in today, should be enough to kill a deer or bear with. ;D  |
