English Sporting Gun photos

[Curtis]

This gun was completed about a year ago, I thought I would share some pics of it with you guys. The gun has interchangeable barrels - One barrel is .62 cal rifled an the other is 12 gauge smooth, both made by Ed Rayle. Barrel finish is a faux twist of my own concoction. The barrels are standard breeched with a plug, I faked them to look like a patent flint breech. The gun was started 3 years or so ago in a Ron Scott class at the NMLRA Gunsmithing seminar, and the wood came from Ron. The sights, trigger guard and barrel escutcheons were hand made. Lock is a modified Chambers Early Ketland. The Oak case was a bigger pain the make than the gun - I have real problems with straight lines!

The first six photos were taken by Ric Lambert.
