TKS, Bob. The rifle is my brothers - he built it. Yes, it is an amazing piece of maple. Jaegers were made of walnut, but this one was so striking, Taylor decided to use it for 'his' own hunting rifle. The burl in the butt really makes for a 'lively' stock.

If you want more pictures, better ones inded, contact Jim Chambers, rifle builder 'extraordinaire'. Jim Chambers Flintlocks on google should come up with his address. He sells a book on German rifles of the period, complete with translation in Eglish. It's not cheap, but worthwhile documentation rarely is. My bro's got the book - it is absolutely amazing with closeups, and all views. Most striking of the muzzles, if the decorative filing that makes calibres appear larger than they are and appear to have weird rifling - they don't. here's a couple more of Taylor's Stutzen.

Tom- it has a 31" bl. I believe - Getz .60 with rounded bottomed rifling. .595" ball and .025" denim patch, loads easily and shoots all day without wiping - spit for target, Hoppe's 9 Plus or Mink Oil for hunting lube. 120gr. 2f GOEX for a hunting load for Elk or Moose. 80gr. for deer and bear.
