United States-but I am always optimistic!
Greetings from Middle America! I have joined on the recomendation of a frend... I am a gun builder (OLD guns-ie. muzzleloaders). I currently have a project on my drawing board, barrels in my basement, and a heap chunk of walnut residing in the bedroom...For a Manton double (flint) shotgun, cape gun, and potential double rifle.

I am here primarily for research...and may be able to contribute in some fashion-the group is considerably deeper than I expected.

Regards,

Mark Eskra

Welcome to the forum:)
 
wellcome to AH:rockon:
 
Hillsboro, Illinois. Maybe I should call myself a gun"kink". I have build a couple, and am working on a couple...I still have all of my fingers! (well, 9.5-kidding!). I have and do dream of it...One day. Or one week...Or one month...
 
Mark, glad to have you here and you will add to the depth yourself.
You have built more guns than me. Look forward to your input.

Welcome 'new guy"
 
Mark, welcome to AH! Always good to have a new gun nut!

Ah HA! Finally a place I am understood....Background on the building affliciton-see, I really like eating wild game. Since the most entertaining and satisfying way to get to that point, I must hunt. In order to hunt, I must well, have a gun (though I have used my Jeep(successfully) in taking deer before, with no damage to the Jeep)...You get the picture. My family is starting to move into the bow hunting arena as well...so I have this whopper split of osage orange I am going to start whittling on...
 
Welcome to the forum and I am sure you can tell us more about building rifles.
 
Dear Mark E

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
Ross
