I built this rifle up out of the components from at least three rifles that I found at the local flea market on different occasions. I built the stock myself from straight grain walnut for strength, and added an ebony fore end tip. I am not an advocate for cutting up old rifles, but since this was already done prior to me, thought i would build something useful out of the parts. Since Ohio now allows straight wall cartridges for hunting,,, that is it's main purpose. It shoots very well, and is a nice carry weight.

One day I will get around to engraving the silver pistol cap. The wood came from a tree that my dad and I milled up with a chainsaw mill about 20 years ago.
