another page of Dave Catalog

Then he sent a few photos of rifles he made or could make your's like with a photo of himself holding one of his nice rifles.

Price sheet for extras that could be included on your rifle.

To all the Gentlemen that posted your Lone Star's - invoices - pictures and catalogs to this thread - I Sincerely Thank You.  I never envisioned we would have so many of Dave's rifles and supporting documentation identified in one thread.  Absolutely, not a complete listing but without a doubt, the most informative composite listing known to date.
Bear with me I have not individually listed all the rifles in the first post yet.  My intent is to do this.

I would like to continue the thread, because there are many questions about Dave's rifles that are unknown.  Maybe we can fill in the blanks:
* Barrel sources - known to be Green Mountain & Badger
* Actions - his source of them?  Interesting, there are several variations in addition to clones of original Remington #1 actions ... (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)
* Did Dave make his own butt stocks & forearms ... or were they subcontracted?
* Butt Plates - subcontracted from who or did he make them?
* Checkering - subcontracted or did he do his own?

And my mystery is - why does my 0044 have a brass trigger guard and who did Dave obtain it from.  It is an anomaly compared to all his other rifles he made!  And why the original owner put a cheap Italian vernier on the rifle  with 4mm tapped base screws and a Lyman 17A foresight... is beyond me 

0044 with the brass trigger guard looks like it might be a Italian made rolling block.

Powderman

John and Vall,
Thanks for the comments on my Lone Stars.
Dave surely had a talent for building these copies.
Every bit on par with the fit and finish of a Shiloh Sharps.
Here are a couple shots from two calendar/catalogs I have. 1999 and 2009.
I like the one with Dave and a Friend at what I assume is Custer's Last Stand.

have been an admirer of Remington Rolling Block Sporting and Target Rifles. I have also admired Whitney Rolling Block Sporting and Target Rifles, as well as those from the Scandinavian countries, and I would suggest there are some stylistic differences amongst them, such as in the contours of the frame, breech block and hammer spur, trigger guard , and trigger.

Having an interest in the rolling block sporters, I came across Dave at a gun show in Denver about 30 years ago where he had a table set up I was able to admire several rolling block rifles he made and I was quite taken with the quality of workmanship. All had the contours of those made by Remington as do the rolling blocks pictured in this thread, other than #0044. 

It would appear that Dave probably made the frame of #0044 from scratch. I was just saying style of #0044 looks like the Pedersoli rolling blocks. We have the answer thanks to majorfs45’s  posting of a page from one of Dave’s catalogues in Reply #31. I made my post before I read through the catalogue pages posted by majorfs45.

I have posted some photos of Pedersoli Rollers which it turns out were designed by Mr. Higgenbotham.
