Got The Word
 

I received an E-Mail yesterday from the place that is building my new 50 caliber. They shipped it in a UPS truck, and it went out yesterday. So hopefully I will have it this Friday. Kind of unfortunate because I did not receive it in time for the early season(which is this week). But I have not been able to hunt this week, so not such a major loss.

I am looking forward to handling my new rifle. I wil post pictures as soon as I get it. I have been waiting about 8 months for this rifle, and I am really looking forward to getting it. Tom.

Who's building it? What are the specs?

As NATO says! What kind is it... more facts please

The rifle is an Early Lancaster style rifle. It is a left hand FL with a large Siler lock(Chambers), and double set triggers. The barrel is a Rice swamped barrel. I purchased a special piece of high grade Maple. And I decided on 50 caliber over 54 caliber. The trimmings are in brass, but with no patch box. I think those patch boxes are a bit gawdy(just an opinion).

I like the wider and taller butt stock on the Early Lancaster style stock. and I also like the fact that there is no crescent in the butt plate. It really is a shooters rifle, not so much a looker, but a shooter!! But I still think it is also going to be a looker(I hope)!!

Should be a really nice rifle. I have been wanting a custom flinter for over 30 years. So it is on the way. Tom.

WOW! Hope you get it soon and get pictures sooner...

lucky duck...

Congrats!

Congrats, If you are like me you will have butterflies until you have it. I'm looking forward to the pics.
