The .30/06 Springfield,the ULTIMATE cartridge combat,hunting and target cartridge,a .45 single action and a good FLINTLOCK is all I need to be happy!

That looks like a real good one- great metal work, nice wood.
Something to be proud of, and keep forever.

Very nice rifle, excellent engraving. Hope you get years of enjoyment out it. Haven't heard of the Douglas barrel used in years but they made a good barrel.

Treasure it, it is a treasure.
That is one beautiful rifle. I'm sure it shoots as good as it looks.

Madcaster,
That is truly a gorgeous rifle! I am glad for your good fortune and wish you much enjoyment with that fine heirloom, my friend.
Before I was hit by a propane truck(his fault,as borne out in Court) and put on disability,had to declare bankruptcy,went with ANY income for 18 months,I had THREE of his guns.Two were built just for me,one was about to go up to Friendship.Had to sell everything I owned,and this is not one I had before,but it is "getting back" a bit of my past.

I was always taught to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder to find any!
Μολὼν λαβέ; approximate Classical Greek pronunciation [molɔ̀ːn labé], Modern Greek [moˈlon laˈve]), meaning "Come and take them" is a classical expression of defiance reportedly by King Leonidas in response to the Persian army's demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae.
Don Davison,but he has not built a muzzleloader for some time now.He was trained by Hacker Martin and Lester Smith.Lester trained him on engraving.
Mostly he builds BPCR guns now.

This shows you have kept the faith. I heard that "tough times don't last, tough people do...".
