New baby arrived for Christmas
      #122758 - 01/01/09 04:53 AM

Picked up one of my single shot projects from UPS last Tuesday. The rifle is built off of a C. Sharps action with a Badger barrel and MVA sights. Caliber is .405wcf. Attached are pictures the gunsmith took of it.

Very nice indeed. The smith is a great photographer as well.

What a beautiful rifle but good grief, what a tease, show us the but and the muzzle. Nice choice of caliber too.

Thanks. I will try to get some more pictures but my photographic skills are not nearly as good.

Looks beautiful. The wood looks very nice indeed. Who did the CC?

Do you shoot in competition with the single shots?

The gun was built by Allan Mack in Sturgis, SD. His shop did all the metal and wood work, except for the checkering, on the gun. I'm not a competitive shooter, I just have a thing for old style single shots.

casper50 and grandveneur,

Thanks. I knew the rifle was going to turn out well but it exceeded my expectations.

SharpsNitro,

A simply amazing work of art!

You, sir, are a man of exquisite taste.

Great hunting!

All I can say is WOW!
I have an original 1885 that has been rebuilt with an octagon barrel, some nice wood and bored 32-40. It is not the looker yours is, but it is a charmer.

Congratulations to such a beautiful rifle ! What a nice piece of wood and the colour case hardening is good looking as well.
