Another Moravian/ Christian Springs


This is another Christian Springs style rifle with heavy Germanic styling.  You can read my earlier posts for a history on these early gunsmiths.

Jaeger Style Rifle

This is a jaeger style rifle I built for a good friend.  It has a Rice .62 caliber barrel and a Jim Chambers lock.  The walnut stock is a nice hard piece of Black Walnut and came from Dunlap.  It had quite a bit of curl on the outer parts of the blank, but alas, most of the curl disappeared once I shaped out the stock.  Such is life when dealing with wood!

Here are some pics:

The gun turned out real well and the owner went out and won some shooting competitions right away.  Those Rice barrels are real shooters.

Thanks!
