osage outlaw:
That flaming trigger guard looks great Josh!

chamookman:
Lookin' good Driver ! Bob

Josh B:
Thanks fellas!  I didn't have much time over the weekend to work on it, but I'll mess with it throughout the week.  I ordered the barrel rib and steel thimbles since I didn't really feel like forging a rib for this rifle.  Eventually I'll replace all the brass with iron furnishings.  I'll make the barrel wedge escutcheons, buttplate and nosecap myself.  I still need a ramrod as well, but that's easy enough.  Once I get all the furnishings acquired/fabricated, I'll strip it all down and refinish everything.  Thanks for following along.  Josh

Parnell:
That's very cool, Josh.  I like the way that lock looks.  I'm impressed with your trigger guard and that you just put it together like that on the road.  Look forward to seeing it together.

Josh B:
Thanks Steve!  I don't know who inletted the lock mortise, but I'm hoping I can patch in some slivers and clean that up a bit.  I'm considering going with herters French red stain on the birch.  Anyone tried that before?  I love how it makes walnut pop.  I just don't know how it is on white woods.  Josh
