Nice rifle. What is the wood?

Sorry fellows. All the details I have about that rifle are posted on the first post. I'll check the Gazette again tomorrow to make sure I didn't leave out anything. I would bet SDH could fill us in, as he wrote an excellent article in that particular publication.

The Gazette never took off, just the one issue.

DP,
Can't tell you any more about that rifle, tooo long ago....but I'd sure caution you about reproducing copyrighted photos. I know it is done all the time on the internet, but some folks, including the photographer in question, have NO sense of humor about it.

Thanks SDH. Understandable from the photog's point of view.

It is a wonderful rifle and unfortunately that publication never really got off the ground. Shame too, that one had tons of promise.
