Pat...if/when you do start selling them put me on the list please. Steve

Yep...summited in 2018. I'll shoot you a pm so we don't hi-jack this thread. Steve

Great shots Troy...sending ya a PM. Steve

Nick...you got that spot on. Hickory, oak, ash are tend to be prone to tear out when worked. I have seen some gunstocks made from ash that were amazing, though not all too common. Hickory and oak, I've never seen any. Cherry is another commonly used wood for custom gunstocks.

Ron...I know a guy if you decide to scrap the stock[whistle] Not that I'm looking to make any calls, but if you decide you want to give me a shout.

Thanks Vince...I appreciate your confidence. Is that friend a retired State Police Trooper named Ron ?? I'm pretty sure his first name is Ron...the same guy that used to set up down at the Pymatuning Show? If so, he does make some outstanding rifles. I'd love to chat with him again.

Rick...I like those schools much better too. I do have the Longrifles of Pennsylvania book and also picked up Schumways Pennsylvanis Longrifles of Note....great color pictures in that book. I'm sure I'll be picking up plenty more reference material in the coming weeks. Are you still building...

Jeff...I've only seen a maple stock (curly) on one modern firearm. My buddy in Ohio has a predator hunting rifle made from curly maple. It is a fine piece of wood, but it seems a bit odd and out of place on his gun. Likely because it has a lighter finish to it...in lieu of the darker finish...

Wow....and that bird is amazing!!

Rick...very nice, I assume you built that one? I'm leaning in the direction of the Lancaster School since my Grandfather was originally from that area, but I don't really want to lock myself into anything that would be called a copy, These two are going to be based closest to the Lancaster...

Brad...you know me, Nothing but the best as far as the stocks go. Looking for some good curly hard maple and/or a really good piece of figured black walnut for the .45. May have to make some calls out of whatever I don't use for the stocks, I'm sure there will be some leftovers.

Well, the barrel and breech plugs for them anyway. Brand new project that I have been wanting to tackle for years. Building two muzzleloaders (longrifles) for next season - 42" .50 Caliber for me, and a 36" .45 caliber for my Girlfriend. I'm not sure who is more excited about building these. I...

Cool season run down Troy! Looks like a great season. There is something about those keg urinals. I discovered some in Florida and had to snap a few pictures myself. Pretty cool use of them. Steve

Thanks Steve...I appreciate that. It's been a long time for sure, I missed seeing all the decoys and boats. I have a lot of irons in the fire once again, things are certainly looking up. Keep those pics coming!

Vey Cool Gary...

Hi All, It's been a long time since I've posted anything on here. I figured these calls deserved to be shown off here since they are both made with some salt cedar that Al Hansen sent to me a while back...thanks again Al! Both of these calls now reside in Nashville, TN. Double reed timber...

Man, that looks like a great place to be. I've been wanting to do a hunt like that for a long time.

Vince...I don't doubt all of that was true at one point in time, I know it was. All of the prior cases and complaints that you mentioned are why we're where we are today. More or less due to officers overstepping their bounds. And yes, some of them still push that envelope today. Unfortunately I...

The law pretty much applies to anyplace somebody would have a reasonable expectation of privacy...even a vehicle or duckboat. But again, if there is something in plain sight that can be articulated in court, the defendant should be on the losing side of that battle.

Same thing here in PA Jay and Steve... Game Wardens do not have further reaching powers than any other LE officers. They are not exempt from the Fourth Amendment protecting from illegal search and seizure. If they were to walk in your garage and seize evidence out of your freezer without a...
