It's the challenge, nostalgia and skill required to bring home the bacon... Not to mention the fact that Longrifles of the 18th and early 19th century were as much art forms then as they are now and there are groups of individuals who go to lengths to recreate and study the original work as an honor to the Masters.

This one I finished a couple of months back and she is ready for firearm deer season to open in 2 weeks... She shall be christened in whitetail blood before the end of the month.

Beautiful gun. Very well done.

You might look into some photo editing software that has picture cropping and image resizing functions.
