I just finished this Lehigh Schimmel/ Barn Gun
Sold but I’m building 3 of these for customers right now and I take orders every day.
.54 caliber custom octagon to round swamped lightweight 42 ” barrel by Rice
L&R classic unbridled lock
Stocked in nice piece of curly sugar maple
Nothing fancy about the trimming hand made ramrod pipes, a butt plate formed from sheet brass and I cast the trigger guard in sand . I made both the front and rear sights
All the metal was polished and given an antique aged patina
The stock was stained with pokeberry root and raspberry, then finished with tung oil. I cut the stock to a Rupp pattern.
She only weighs 6 pounds and 2 ounces
Trigger pull is around a pound or less
Length of pull is 13&11/16 inches
This a great representation of a Lehigh Schimmel and would have been common place in early America.
Thank you for taking the time to consider my work
