This page comprises a listing of the traditional rifles and smoothbores that Doc is working on for his own entertainment and eventually for sale. He does it while waiting for the phone to ring when he's on call. Some are pretty plain, some are fancy, most will have been fired at least enough to proof them, make sure the gun functions properly and the sights are reasonably close. Many times this is done at a match. Doc rarely takes the same gun to a match, prefers a new one every time, it makes the ordeal more challenging. Most of the guns illustrated are new, some are fix-up antiques and used trade-ins, inevitably some will be beaters, but all will be identified and thoroughly described.
When the gun is finally done, it will be deleted from this page and transferred to the 'On Sale' page. ' All are ON SALE at any time, whether as a rough kit, assembled in the white, carved, engraved , decorated, or beat to pieces, whether in the On Sale page or this page. Just email email@example.com and ask for the price. POR Feel free to make an offer. Dickering can be fun.
Once the gun is sold, the photo workup will be transferred to the ' Archives ' page. You can find a wide assortment of guns there, most everything that Doc has invented, collected or hand made over the last 30 odd years. It's a great read, with good photos and text.
Doc's custom guns are often shown on the Track of the Wolf webpage, amongst the many fabulous offerings that TOW displays. Their photos are truly fabulous, with hard to see detail plainly shown. GoTo trackofthewolf.com, click on guns, then the catagory of gun you want to see, ie- flintlock, then scroll down the pages to find one of Doc's offerings. There are usually 1 or 2 there.
#539 Jaeger flintlock 69 caliber 'masterwork' by DOC. In the Germanic tradition, every journeyman had to produce a 'masterwork' in order to graduate into the top ranks of gunmakers.
The rifle includes many techniques, including complex bas releif carving, wire inlay, ivory carving and inlay, poetry (verse on the top flat of the barrel), flintlocks from scratch, sliding wooden patchboxes, chiseled furniture and scenic engraving, etc.
The flintlock is one I made. It's the size of an English trade lock but with Germanic features. I also made the DST. The inlays in the butt-stock, the inlays at the wrist and opposite the flintlock are ivory, the real stuff from an elephant, carved to match the bas relief carving in the wood.
The large silver inlay on the cheek-piece is heavily engraved, showing a cupid in the tree to the left, a naked woman lying under the tree and an amorous cross-bow wielding gentleman kneeling over her.
The muzzle cap is antler, from a red deer in the best German tradition.
Both the brass trigger guard and butt-plate are heavily engraved, as are most brass and silver parts and inlays.
The wire work was tedious and time consuming, took me about a year to get it done. This rifle is a copy of an original masterwork by Hornheffer, who worked in the 1740-80 era in Germany. He was indeed a master.
The sidelock inlays shown here are ivory too, carved to match the wood. The rifle weighs in at 11 lbs. , but holds pretty well. It needs the weight, a shot with a 69 cal ball and 180 grains FFg will set you back a step. The recoil is solid, to say the least.
#595- Doc-built side by side 20 bore double flintlock smoothbore rifle, barrels tapered octagon to round, double hook patent breech, low rifle sights, side by side flintlocks, double trigger, rear trigger actuates left lock, front trigger does the right lock, lock panels tapered to the rear with inset locks for excellent grip conformation, double keys surrounded by silver ovals, barrels regulated for stout loads with patched round ball, can shoot shot loads as well. POR
#613- French Dragoon pistol, a very traditional military 20 bore smoothbore personal sidearm, issued by the French, perfect for a Revolutionary persona. Photos will follow as it finishes. POR
#617- Wender rollover flintlock rifle, 3/4 inch octagon barrels, 36 rifled and 45 smoothbore. Classy 4A maple stock, 2 pieces of course
This should be a great small game gun, from squirrels to turkey.
#664- Over-under percussion rifle in .451 X .451 caliber, shallow groove, fast twist for White elongated slip fit bullets, regulated to strike center at 100 yards, figured walnut with grain selected to run through the wrist, original back action locks, double triggers, all iron furniture, including cap box, 2 ramrods, upper barrel rib, double triggers, scroll trigger guard. Very British in style. Sir Joseph Whitworth would have been proud. POR. OBO
#665- Flintlock drilling with side by side 20 gauge shot barrel on the right, 50 caliber round ball rifle barrel on the left and 36 caliber round ball rifle barrel underneath. Yes the flintlock for the under barrel will be upside down, which works surprisingly well.. All iron furniture. All three barrels regulated to center at 50 yards.

POR
#675- Doc made Pauley double side by side rifle 504 caliber for heavy White slip fit bullets, AAA walnut with great grain structure and strength, stainless steel barrels and actions, coil mainsprings, copies Pauley's 1812 patent for the very first inline rifle, uses #11 or musket caps (for dangerous game), double triggers, all iron mounts and furniture, double safety with one incorporated in the separate cocking handles and another controlling both barrels (locks the sear) with thumb control adjustable for either left or right side. Pauley's hammers are false and are used to cock the in-line hammer. The triggers are Doc's invention, only improving on Pauley's concept. SPOKEN FOR
This rifle is meant for big loads with big bullets for use on big, dangerous game. 150 grains 777 or Pyrodex P plus a 600 (+) grain bullet recommended. There are double recoil lugs to hold that recoil, plus hooked breeches for easy access and cleaning.
#676- Flintlock double fowler in 16 gauge with original nitro proofed barrels with full and modified chokes. Stock is lightweight cherry with good grain structure. Furniture brass with a bit of French influence. Double triggers actuate the Egg locks. Lock panels are tapered to the rear for a small grip. POR
#719- US Cadet musket, issued to military cadets at West Point and the Virginia Military Institute in the 1840's, looks like a lightweight 1835 Flintlock musket but with shorter pull, shorter barrel and lighter barrel in 58 rather than 69 caliber. The stock will need cutting down to the smaller size of course. It will make a perfect trainer gun for a young man or woman. The pull will be 13 1/4 inches to fit a smaller person. POR
#725- The birth of a very elegant Jaeger with elegant European walnut stock, lots of carving to match the elegant chisled furniture. Caliber is 58. Watch for more photos as it comes along. I only work on guns like this one when an artistic fit hits me. I can't push the artwork or I screw it up. Bear with me.
The furniture is deeply chisled with baroque scenes, the elegant lock has an internal frizzen. The walnut is real European that cost more than most rifles. The barrel is a 31″ Colerain with round bottom groove rifling. I haven't yet decided on carving, but it will be extensive as will engraving. I hope to make it a very elegant example of the art.
#726- Griffin English Gentleman's Rifle in 62 caliber. all antique rust blued iron furniture, 3/8″ wood ramrod, Twigg designed lock, Colerain octagon-round rifled barrel 44 inches long, AAAA walnut, SST, only a bit of understated carving and checkering. The tigered walnut is absolutely indescribable.
The blank shown above has been carved into rough form. Too bad my lousy photographic skills don't match the elegance of the wood. Watch for more photos as the project developes.
#727- Here you see the birth of a HUDSON VALLEY FOWLER with 12 gauge 44″ barrel by Colerain, typically with Dutch furniture and carved decoration except for an English Trade lock.
The maple is AAAA, tigered from one end to the other on both sides.
#729- Here is a nascent Club Butt Bess, actually an early Brown Bess musket, restocked by a hometown smith in the Old Northeast with strong Dutch influence, as if the original musket somehow lost its original stock and the parts were re-assembled by a Dutch influenced smith to create an elegant sporting fowler, often also used as a militia musket. The barrel is of course Bess's nominal 77 caliber, 44″ long with Bess details at the breech, the lock is an early 1828 'Dublin Castle', the brass furniture is early , matching the lock, except for the ramrod and ferrules which are Jaeger like with wooden ramrod. Such guns were made for both sporting and militia use, as most gun owners did both in the early days. A plug bayonet comes with it. The maple is just gorgeous!!! It will end up finished dark with Aqua Fortis, oil and elbow grease.
#730- You are seeing the birth of a Fergusson Fullstock Sporting Rifle. This will end up a copy of the elegant fullstock Fergusson gentleman's rifle that was in the Keith Neal collection, originally made by Egg. It's 58 caliber, meant to throw a .600 caliber ball. The conformation of the stock will be typical 1770's English with lightly engraved iron furniture and understated carving and checkering at the wrist
#731- Here's an unusual project, something I have been wanting to make for a long time: a HAWKEN style WENDER rollover percussion rifle-shotgun. Rifle barrel is 62 caliber and shotgun barrel is 12 gauge smoothbore. Gorgeous wood, late Bridger Hawken buttplate , scroll trigger guard, fancier Hawken toeplate and patchbox, and, (I hope) a DST. Back action percussion lock but Hawken patent breeches, two ramrods- one for rifle, the other for shotgun. This is what I imagine Sam might have made on custom order for an adventuresome client.
Both barrels will be rifle sighted. You will be able to use the 12 gauge for single ball, too. The 12 gauge will have interchangable chokes. It should be a great hunting combination. AAAA maple, great wood!!
#732- The bare beginnings of a Dimmick, St. Louis, half-stock 58 caliber plains rifle, iron mounted with JBR buttplate, English drip bar lock butted up against a Manton style long tang English percussion breech, long bar adjustable rear sight, two silver surrounded keys, English forend cap, long bar DST in an iron Dimmick hooked trigger guard: all in all, a better, stronger, more functional rifle than a Hawken.
#735- In the beginning!- barrel and stock for a 10 Bore flintlock rifle. Octagon to round barrel by Rayl, 77 caliber with slow twist and deep rifling for high velocity patched round ball. Perfect for Tiger in India with the Raz. The walnut is right elegant. Note the curve through the grip, grown especially for a hard kicking gun like this one. Watch for more photos as this elegant rifle develops.
It will sport all iron fittings, with broad buttplate to soak up recoil, scrolled trigger guard, single trigger, English flintlock by Chambers, Manton style Patent Breech with hooked tang, double leaf rear sight.
#736- The bare beginnings of a long anticipated project. I found this barrel in a Shanandoah Valley antique shop in 1961, during my second year of medical school in WashingtoN DC. It has served as a door stop until I finally had it re-lined . Sometime in the 70's I found the English Sea Service lock pictured, in ratty condition, at an Eastern Rendevous. Both have been sitting around , waiting to get put back into a functioning rifle for nigh 40 years. Looks like it's finally going to happen. Naturally, it will be a Virginia rifle, iron mounted, dark if not black. Watch for photos as it builds.
The barrel is hand forged, octagon, swamped, originally about 54 caliber and restored with a liner to the same caliber. It needs pipes, sideplate and sights plus stock.
Left: the original front sight is very low, just a sliver. This is what they meant when they speak of 'fine' sights. Left Middle: the rear sight slot, not very deep at all, the blade broken off long ago. Right Middle: the barrel breech. Note the size of the touch-hole. It's obviously rusted out but even counting the rust, it was originally much larger than anything we WOULD USE at present. Right: barrel lug in a filed slot, a fairly sophisticated treatment for such a crude barrel. QUESTION: Should I leave it rusty and pitted or clean it up? How about half and half with purposefully rusty/pitted/antique finish on all iron parts (except lock internals) to match?
Left: the Sea Service lock, used on an English marine pistol. These used to be fairly common at gunshows and rendezvous. I have owned several and all were real sparkers. Right: you can see the dimples in the barrel iron where the smith pounded the flats into the barrel. Perhaps barrel smiths found it easier to make a barrel octagon rather than round back in the days when modern engine lathes and milling machines were not available.
Shown above is the plank of AAAA maple that will eventually be fitted to the parts illustrated. You can get a hint of the gorgeous curl all the way from heel to toe.
#746- Fullstock Hawken rifle in 50 caliber , 15/16″ octagon barrel by Douglas, fat sparking Twigg late flintlock, flat to the wrist trigger guard, long bar DST, Double bolted tang, 3/8″ ramrod, All iron furniture, excellent AAAA maple fullstock. Kit #310
#748 We are illustrating the conception of a Christian Springs 62 caliber flintlock rifle with a Wolfe's Head side opening patchbox.
I know you can't see the figure but it is AAAA tiger striping. It will be brass mounted, stained with aqua fortis (which means dark) with DST, traditional sights and a bit of carving.
# 749- You are witnessing the birth of a classic John Noll flintlock copy. He was a Master, to say the least. His carving as elegant as it gets, every rifle known a masterpiece.
The maple is AAAA, too bad you can't yet see the figure. Watch for photos as it finishes up.
#750- Presenting the evolution of a late Manton Cavalry Carbine, the last one produced by the British before moving to the percussion system. All parts are cast from originals. The Lock, sidelock plate and lock screws are all original. Barrel is 62 caliber, rifled, by Colerain, 20 inches long, with a hook breech and steel swivel ramrod, along with a saddle bar and lanyard. The walnut is a bit better than ordinary military. the stock style is a modified Long Land Pattern, just a whole lot shorter. Watch for photos as this gun develops.
Now the stock is cut to the square. You can see it's going to be a short little thing. Should be great in a treestand for whitetail. the originals were smoothbore, but this one is rifled. Pull will end up at 14 inches, trigger is single of course, weight should be around 6.5-7 lbs. The horse to carry it and you about 1000.
#762- French Fowler, fancy brass mounted, single 40″ octagon/round barrel in 20 bore with walnut full-stock.
You are going to have to use your imagination some as the walnut blank is not carved yet. Watch for more photos as she grows up.
Here are some closer close-ups of the butt plate, trigger guard and external parts of the lock kit for this single barrel fowler. There are also matching pipes for a skinny 1/4″ iron ramrod with tulip head.
This lock is about as elegant as they get. See #828 below for a look at the double using the same furniture but different locks.
The crude drawing shows roughly what the pistol will look like eventually. The barrel brech and action/trigger guard are military rifle sized: they will get trimmed down a good deal in order to slim the pistol up. The lock is Queene Anne sized: it will match nicely with some period engraving added. t will end up with the dimensions of a 1770 Heavy Horse Pistol. They were large calibered pistols, usually carried in a saddle holster, big enuff to take down your opponents horse then club the rider to insensibility with the brass butt of the now empty pistol. Watch for more photos as it developes. SPOKEN FOR
#766 You are in on the conception of a Jim Bridger Hawken rifle in 62 caliber with AAA maple stock, tapered 36 inch long barrel by Colerain, all the classic Hawken features. SPOKEN FOR
This one is headed for Alaska and an Alaskan moose hunt. Watch for more pics as it finishes up.
#780- The birth of a strict copy of the famous rifle that Edward Marshall carried on his famous 'long walk', really a run as I understand the event. Caliber is 58 by Colerain. Barrel swamped at 38″, Maple is AAA
#789- This gun was stunted from birth, the buttstock was cracked and the fore-end crooked , so I amputated to save its life and it became a Blanket Gun. Made me feel like a Civil war surgeon. It sports all the usual features of a NorthWest gun in 20 bore, except no buttplate or ramrod pipes. The Indians may have hidden these guns under blankets but they were more often used horseback like a heavy dragoon pistol, one shot then it became a club. I applied a few tacks to Indian it up some, and it grew some beads and feathers, too. The barrel illustrated is the back end of the real thing. Try a .600 caliber ball and about 80 grains Black. It will brighten up your night.
The barrel was custom made by Kelley, about 14″ long, tapered and banded. The lock is an English Trade lock by Davis, the trigger is meant to be pulled with two fingers, just like your Indian buddy pulls a bowstring.
NorthWest guns came with all kinds of finishes, this one sports antique rust blueing of barrel and lock. The color is a deep blue-black. Buck Conner says the best all original NW gun with original finish that he knows of was rust blued in this fashion. The trigger guard has been left in the white, nicely polished, because the originals were , too. Some of the photos show details in the white. I was just too busy to re-do all the photos.
The gun has a stainless counter-bored touch-hole liner for quick ignition. The barrel is smooth-bore, of course. It has never been fired, not even a scratch on the frizzen. The barrel is marked with my cipher, plus LONDON and a tombstone fox on the top flat, a blossom with TB on the oblique flat, along with GRRW CA NW o3, (third NW Gun built by the CA), since it has become one of the new GRRW Collecror's Ass'n guns.
Make me an offer I can't refuse. POR OBO
#790- In The Beginning: a lighter weight Dimmick Plains rifle in 50 caliber with one inch straight octagon barrel by Kelly, the usual Dimmick breeching, under-rib with 2 pipes, open sights, Dimmick variation of the English Drip Bar percussion lock (many Dimmicks had them), Brass furniture on a cherry stock stained dark with aqua fortis. There will also be a DST and a brass fore-end cap. More photos to follow.
808- Bridger Hawken half-stock with .500 caliber 1-24 fast twist shallow .040 groove barrel for elongated lubricated bullets, what eventually would have developed in such mountain rifles if cartridges had not come along.
In the beginning…….
Maple is AAA, conformation classic late Bridger Hawken. The internal barrel dimensions are the same as any .500 caliber White inline rifle, like the Super 91 or Model 97 and will shoot every bit as well. Bullets used will be slip-fit, sized 1/1oooth less than the land to land diameter of the barrel, sliding easily down a dirty bore for a quick reload yet super accurate. Bullets used commonly weigh 400-600 grains and are fired with with up to 150 grains black powder or substitute, easily the equivalent of a 50-140.
This baby is getting his big boy pants up, with barrel and tang inletted, lock fitted and long bar DST with trigger guard, sights, under-lugs with keys and ramrod in place. If it had a nipple it would be shootable..
This bad boy will grow up with color case hardened iron furniture, antique rust blued barrel, silver roundels and fore-end tip, long adjustable rear sight like Gemmer used. The maple is elegant AAA. If it shoots as good as its going to look, it will 'shine'.
It's getting close. Fully the equivalent of the later 50-140 black powder cartridge. Watch for more photos as the project finishes up.
#811- You are getting in on the conception of an English Sporting Rifle by Fairbanks, .62 caliber with slow twist for high velocity. Tapered barrel 36″ long, Manton hooked breech, long tang double bolted through the wrist, DST in English psuedo pistol grip trigger guard, ebony forend, under-rib with two pipes, sling swivels, wide checkered butplate to hold to the shoulder and soak up recoil, double fore-end keys in silver roundels, Express sights.
Rifles like this shoot a heavy ball with less than 2″ apogee out to 100 yards. Kicks pretty good, but who notices it when the bull of the woods is the target. That is a lovely chunk of figured walnut by the way. SPOKEN FOR
The fore-end tip is Ebony
The breeching is Manton style with a drip bar, strongest percussion system ever developed.
the trigger guard handles like a pistol grip.
The sights, keys and roundels are so far missing, as is the iron cap box that fits the buttplate. The rear sight is ramp adjustable. The ramrod is a stout 7/16th thick. A Double Set Trigger is unusual in this type of rifle, single set triggers were more common.
#814- You are getting in on the conception of a double barreled Jaeger fullstock flintlock rifle with side by side octagon barrels in 58 caliber.
Lynn Weimer made the barrels,He once worked for me at GRRW. The walnut is gorgeous but there was a knot in the left forestock. You can see where it has been repaired with a like piece of wood. Hopefully , it will disappear in the grain once finished.
There will be a hooked, standing breech, double Queene Anne flintlocks extensively re-worked, double triggers and a wooden patchbox, along with engraving and carving. The real issue here, though, is regulating the barrels while inletting them into a full- stock. Don't know about the furniture yet, we will just have to wait and see what turns up.
#808- Here is a a Rigby style Sporting Rifle in 451 caliber with 1-20 twist and shallow .035 grooves for long, heavy slip-fit bullets. Walnut pistol grip stock, plain but excellent grain, super-strong Manton Breech, Henry percussion lock with drip bar and Henry fore-end, all iron furniture finished antique rust blue with browned barrel. Tuned single trigger for fine shooting, graduated three leaf rear sight, hooded front sight. FOR SALE POR OBO
These Sporting Rifles were designed for both sporting and target use. The originals were designed by Whitworth. a genius in his own time, ten inch groups at 1000 yards were not uncommon. A 500 grain slip fit lubricated bullet and 70-80 grains of fffG black powder is not only accurate but takes game down dramatically, with more than 1200 ft lbs. of energy left at 200 yards.
These rifles were the predesesors of the heavy bullet Buffalo guns of the 1860's. You can shoot this .451 rifle like a 45-70, a 45-90 or a 45-120 if you wish, depending only on the weight of bullet and powder charge. They are functionally elegant and shoot circles around other muzzleloading rifles. For target or hunting, they can't be beat.
#816- A 62 caliber English pistol aborning. Beautiful piece of walnut with perfect grain conformation through the wrist.
#816- Early English Doglock pistol
#817- Lemon butt snaphaunce pistol, lemon butt not shown yet. Early 1600's pistol. Miles Standish probably carried one, if not two.
#821- Rigby style English Sporting Rifle in 451 caliber with fast 1-18 twist for elongated, heavy 400-500+ grain slip-fit bullets, ready for target or the hunt.
Gorgeous 4A tiger maple stock, rubber butt pad (to mimic early English leather covered pads), single trigger, all iron furniture finished antique rust blue, Manton percussion breech with Henry percussion lock and fore-arm treatment. SOLD
The stock is finished deep brown with English red highlights, the barrel browned and the furniture antique rust blued. The barrel is 32 inches long and tapered. There is a fancy blued iron grip-cap, a single barrel key with German silver decorative surrounds.
My favorite load with this bore/rifling combo is a 520 grain slip-fit, channelured, lubricated bullet over 70 grains of 3F black powder and #11 cap. I've seen 4 inch groups at 600 yards with this load, rare, but achievable.
I've also seen big game hammered down by similar rifles and loads. My personal longest one shot kill with a .45 caliber, 435 grain bullet: 240 yards on a big Barren Ground caribou.
#822 North West Gun half stock- the stock showed up crook'd as a dog's hind leg, so I amputated. Lot's of old guns ended up shortened. This one, too. The 20 bore barrel will get cut back to 36″, there will be an under-rib and brass ferrules.
#823 North West Gun – This will be a GRRW CA High Grade NW Gun. The walnut is quite fancy, wish you could see the figure. It will sport an antique rust blued barrel and color cased lock and trigger guard. It's 20 bore for ball or shot. SPOKEN FOR
Watch for more photos as this baby grows up. All it lacks now is a silver wrist eschutcheon and the brass ramrod end, plus finish. It should come out right elegant.
#824- Tennessee iron mounted fullstock, kit # 225A, 15/16″ diameter barrel 40″ long and 50 caliber, AAAA maple, Egg flintlock, forged iron furniture, really cast but looks like it was forged, DST, double Peanut patchbox.
#825- Southern Mountain Rifle, 13/16 octagon barrel, 45 caliber, percussion
#826- Southern Mountain Rifle, 7/8 barrel in 50 caliber, percussion
#827 You are watching the birthing of a Dutch Snaphaunce Musket with original 16th century lock.
The lock alone cost more than most modern rifles, so did that elegant piece of walnut with perfect grain running through the wrist. You can see the outline of the lock installation on the musket if you look close. The simple furniture will be forged iron.
This original Dutch snaphaunce lock is 7 1/2″ long. It has a horizontal sear, like a wheelock. The makers intaglio mark is at the rear of the lockplate. All the parts are original except the secondary sear- it appears to be an old replacement. It was probably made in the early part of the 1600's. After 300+ years, the thing still throws sparks.
#828- You are looking in on the conception of a French 20 gauge side by side double fowler by Borsos with fancy brass furniture. French fowlers were slim and light, quick to the shoulder for fast jump shooting.
Look at that buttplate, it wraps around the butt on all sides, is deeply chisled with game scenes and matches the trigger guard and pipes. There is a hooked standing breech, side by side double flintlocks, double triggers of course, and an iron ramrod with brass trumpet tip. Hopefully, it will grow into a slim and elegant French lass that will shoot just as good as she looks.
This French lass is getting slimmer by the minute. The barrels are breeched, joined and inletted, the side by side flintlocks are inletted with double triggers and trigger guard in place. The touch-holes are in place and it is shootable. This is the stage where it gets proofed with a 12 gauge load.
The barrels are ribbed. In this case, following the French fashion, the ribs are concave both top and bottom. The fore pipes are iron, the rear brass, with decoration matching the trigger guard. The ramrod is 1/4 inch iron with a trumpet brass tip. The French pioneered the use of iron ramrods both in sporting and military arms.
The wrist is small, a little wider than thick, French style. The lock panels taper to the rear to accomodate the smaller wrist. The flintlocks have been ' Frenchified' with a heart shape at the rear of the plate. Sorry you can't see the detail, but the trigger guard is beautifully chisled,, matching the buttplate and is most graceful. The fore-arm tapers to a slim point.
The barrels are 28″ long, pull is 14.5″ to the front trigger, about an inch longer than most originals. Weight is going to hit about 5.5 lbs. The walnut will get stained dark then soaked in pine oil, the barrels antique rust browned, the locks are already antique iron oxide blacked. Sorry, but this fowler has been spoken for.
#829- Here comes a repro of the only known signed J&S Hawken that once was a flintlock. Bill Fuller up in Alaska owned it once . It has classic Maryland longrifle configuration with flintlock converted to percussion, brass furniture, long swamped barrel , but with a Hawken style patent breech and the barrel is signed by Jake and Sam. Please see my article about it," An Unusual Hawken"
Here's the beginnings of this fine rifle. Plain walnut stock, late flintlock and Maryland brass all the way through, just like the original.
And here is the original with Bill Fuller 1968 at his place on the Kenai River near where it debouches from Kenai Lake. There are more photos with my article, 'An Unusual Hawken'. Goto the top of the page, click on 'All About Doc', then 'Books and Articles', then 'Doc's Ramblings', then scroll down the page to find it.
#830 – 12 bore Hawken, bored out for shot. This is an unusual for a Hawken. Many muzzleloading rifles were later bored out for shooting shot. I guess that is what happened with this one. I wonder if it will kill a turkey?
Another unusual and rarely seen feature is the very English style lock with drip bar fitted to a Manton style breech. The Manton style breech is even stronger than the usual Hawken breeech set-up. Dimmick, who was a Hawken competitor, used them a lot, The Hawkens hardly at all. All other features are the same as any other Hawken.
Left: Note how heavy the bolster is in comparison to the lighter Hawken. Right: The drip bar lock fits up tight against the underside of the Manton breech with an iron drip bar gracefully fitted above the forward extension of the lock., replacing the wood usually found there. This design is much stronger than the Hawken design, as there is no wood to break out in front of the lock.

#833- A foreign baby from a far off land. Family name is Luttick, Russian by birth and breeding but there must have been a German Jaeger in the ancestry. A nicely designed and executed mid century carbine much resembling the English Brunswick rifle including the back action percussion lock.
Military round, tapered barrel, held by keys, military grade walnut stock, back action lock, brass furniture including patch box, sling swivels, all in kit form. Watch for more pics as this Cadet grows up. SPOKEN FOR
#834- This youngster is a hybrid, a Hawken influenced English sporting rifle. Or is it an English influenced early Hawken product? I ask the question 'cause I think that the St. Louis based Hawken Bros. were greatly influenced by the fine quality English rifles they saw coming thru town on the way to the Shining Mountains in the hands of early English adventurers and sportsmen.
Most English Sporting Rifles in the 1820-40 era had a walnut stock, flat buttplates, a beavertail cheekpeice, a short tang on a hooked breech, a large bowed trigger guard, an ebony wood fore-end tip and of course a flintlock. The Hawkens modified that basic design by substituting stronger maple, retaining the American styled curved buttplate, switching the ebony fore-end to iron (often silver plated) and adding an extra long Double Set Trigger double bolted to a long tang. This last is the truly unique feature of Hawken rifles, demonstrating the engineering genius of the Hawkens. The flintlock is a late English double throated lock, typical of the genre and the times. Watch for more pics as this youngster grows up.

Recently I made the decision to stop servicing select cities in my area for the sake of being more efficient with my business. I wanted to help the Clients that were affected by this change as much as possible so I did a little research to find local artists to hand them off to. To my surprise, it wasn't easy to find a replacement. The experience of searching for another artist is what led me to writing this week's blog.

High School King

The Surplus Princess

Best Drugstore Foundation: L'oreal, Maybelline & Bourjois review
55 comments
This was such an enjoyable post to read! I didn't like the L'Oreal Infallible much either. The Bourjois sounds great though, I definitely want to give that a try! Right now my favourite drugstore foundation has been Maybelline Better Skin Superstay Foundation!ReplyDelete
xo, Liz
Thanks so much, Liz :) Infallible disappointed me, sadly. I did hear it suits some people pretty well but the way it turns orange was a major deal-breaker for me. Thanks for the recommendation - I will make sure to check out Better Skin Superstay.Delete
I haven't tried either of them, but the first two don't sound very appealing after reading your description. The last drugstore foundation I picked up was the Catrice 24h Matte (?) one, and I am still in the process of trying it, so no final verdict as of yet. The 16-24 hour claims though... I feel they are ridiculous. Who would want to wear a foundation that long anyway?ReplyDelete
Linda, Libra, Loca: Beauty, Baby and BackpackingReplies
Yeah, those claims are not even funny :) It's a great thing though if the foundation stays put for at least 7 hours. Major win!Delete
Looking forward to your review on the Catrice one, hon!
Мала BOURJOIS? також дуже нею задоволена! Дякую за гарний пост, приємно читати)ReplyDelete
Дякую, Вікуся! Хотіла поділитися своїми експериментами. Буржуа-справді дуже класна!Delete
Awesome post, i love that bourjois foundation, i reach for it quite often. Definitely keen on trying out that L'Oreal Paris foundation, my sister has been using it every day and it's made me eager to pick one up for myself.ReplyDelete
Great post Nadia! I love the look of that Bourjois foundation and it's a great price too! Gemma xxReplyDelete
This is awesome, I love how in depth your reviews were! I don't like to wear heavy foundation, but I'll have to check that last one out! Awesome post :)ReplyDelete
xo Kiki
Далеко не первый хвалебный отзыв на Буржуа. Обзор получился отличный. Задумалась о покупке.ReplyDelete
Great review😊 I really like it too the Bourjois one, now Im trying the other one the Bourjois healthy mix Serum Foundation and comparing these two, I like more the serum one 😉ReplyDelete
I've never tried the other foundations but I recently just purchased the bourjois one! I've seen so many great reviews so I really hope it works well on my skin- here in Canada it sells for $28 so it's definitely not the cheapest....ReplyDelete
Great review!
I was actually debating about getting the Maybelline Dream Satin one, but now I'm thinking maybe not! I hear the Maybelline Fit Me! is absolutely amazing though, although I can't say much for it since I haven't tried it yet. The Bourjois one sounds amazing though; I'll have to check it out once my Almay one runs out. Great, thorough review, Nadia!ReplyDelete
Sam | http://mybeautycloud.com
Thank you so much for this honest review, Nadia! :) I've always been on the lookout for the perfect foundation (I still haven't found one yet, though the MUFE HD one is pretty close), but I never really thought about trying drugstore brands before. I'm glad to hear that they're not too bad as well, so I'll definitely be looking into it! <3 Missed your blog so much! So glad you're posting regularly again <3ReplyDelete
XO, Elizabeth
I've tried the Bourjouis one, but it's hard to find light shades here.ReplyDelete
I really love L'Oreal Infallible Matt one, you should try it!)
Thanks for a honest review, Nadia!)
That was a fab blog post and had so much detail about each product. I love the bourjois foundation, it's the best drugstore one I've tried!ReplyDelete
Lauren xx
I really liked this post, it was informative and well done. I am definitely tempted to buy that Bourjois foundation now. In fact, I almost bought it a year ago, but Rimmel's Match Perfection was on offer, so I bought that instead. When I start running low on this bottle I'll have to get it!ReplyDelete
Тональный Bourjois многие любят) Моя подруга от него в полном восторге, говорит это один из лучших что у неё был)ReplyDelete
Ooooh foundations. I personally love foundations but I've never tried drugstores except for one or two! I'll have to try out the Bourjois Healthy Mix then! But only if I can get my hands on it! Haha <3ReplyDelete
xx Bash | H E Y B A S H | bloglovin'
It is quite hard to find a good drugstore foundations with a good colour match. I used to swear by Maxfactor but once I tried the Bourjois healthy mix I didn't turn back! 54 is the perfect match for me too :)ReplyDelete
Velvet Blush
Such a wonderful post as always, hun! I've had some really back luck with drugstore foundations in the past... I've tried all of the ones on your list and unfortunately none of them worked for me! The Maybelline Dream Satin was especially bad - like you, it caused me to break out!!! =( I think it's just really bad for oily/combination skin types? The Healthy Mix, whilst deffo the best out of the three, just didn't give me the coverage I wanted (I ended up applying way too much and looking cakey!). The only drugstore foundation that's ever worked for me is the Miracle Touch Liquid Illusion foundation by Max Factor. It's just perfect for my skin type, it gives great coverage and doesn't cause my skin to break out. :) <3 x x Hope you're having a lovely weekend, my gorgeous! xReplyDelete
What a brilliant and thorough review! I agree that it can be so off-putting when a foundation has a scent, it seems to unnecessary! I absolutely adore Clinique's Perfectly Real foundation, nothing compares to it for me - with regard to my combination-skin, at least! So glad you're happy with Bourjois foundation, finding 'the one' is so important! ;)ReplyDelete
wow, what a great descriptive review! I usually use maybelline but now I want to try the one that you said you would repurchase! It's always hard for me to find a good foundation. have a great weekend! XxReplyDelete
Lots of love,
Kayla xo // Kayla's Vibration
My all time favourite drug store foundation ised to be the Revlon Photo Ready but then they reformulated it and its not the same! My current favourite is probably Loreal Lumi closely followed by Bourjois Health Mix! I wasn't a massive fan of infallible either! xxReplyDelete
Firstly, I absolutely loved this post! It's ideal as I've looked into these foundations previously. This post is so detailed! I had thought about the Infalliable but it doesn't sound as good as I thought. I hope to see more posts like this in the future! xxxxReplyDelete
Jasmine || http://www.blogsallbeautyy.blogspot.co.uk
Before I switched to NARS I actually use to use a drugstore foundation for the longest time. To be honest the only reason I switched is because I heard all the rave about NARS and well just had to try it. It definitely didn't disappoint. However, it's expensive and thats why I like to stick with a drugstore foundation from time to time, I LOVE Revlon Photoready and would definitely recommend it. It gave it very smooth finish and I found the colour to match really great with my skin tone. It sounds like you liked the Bourjois Healthy mix the best.. unfortunately I don't think we have that one in Canada.. Great review though! I know now not to buy the first two:-) Have a great weekend Nadia!ReplyDelete
Bourjois is an absolute winner for me too! It's the best drugstore foundation I have come to so far. XReplyDelete
-Leta | The Nerdy Me
Absolutely amazing review Nadia darling! Well done :)ReplyDelete
I've never tried any of these products, but I did purchase the Healthy mix serum the other night. I wore it today for the first time for a light coverage and I'm in love! Very very nice. Maybe not as long lasting as it claims to be (as seems to be the problem with the foundation), but oh well. Otherwise I'm very impressed :)
My all time fave foundations from the dugstore must be though Wake me up by Rimmel. I love it so much and have at least three bottles of it at home, just incase I run out of it (another product you can't get from Finland). And I also like Loreal's True Match foundation :)
Hope you've had a lovely week hon <3
Emma xxx
Theres so many drugstore foundations I want to try including the L'Oreal one! xxReplyDelete
Sadly none of these are in the US :( But I would love to try them!ReplyDelete
xx, A Little Dose of Makeup
How awesome is your reviews! I appreciate that you tried them each a few times to get an accurate review! I will have to try that last foundation as it does sound like a real winner!ReplyDelete
I've got to let my wife know about that third foundation. The ones at the department stores can be pricyReplyDelete
Amazing review, sweetie! I own both the L'Oréal and Maybelline ones (I hate the Maybelline one it looks horrible on me) and the Infallible foundation has to be my all time favourite! I love it so much that I almost felt disappointed that you didn't like it.ReplyDelete
I haven't tried the glass bottle one, either way, I've tried the one that comes on the squeeze tub, and I believe the formula is different, so maybe that's why, I don't know.
I'm reading this really early in the morning because I don't want to miss any of your posts but my exams start tomorrow (who's scared? I definitely am!).
Love you lots, beautiful lady. I hope you have a great week!
Love this post, very clear and detailed! I love the Bourjois one, such a great natural foundation! Thanks for sharing! xReplyDelete
Great post! I really need to try the Bourjois one as it sounds like a winner xxReplyDelete
Gemma | www.missmakeupmagpie.com ❤
I personally don't wear foundation (I did for about a year though) however I do love watching makeup tutorials with it hahaha something about it is rather calming to watch and also sparks up the creativity. Glad you found a good drugstore brand though!!!ReplyDelete
These reviews are great and super useful! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete

Pop over to my blog!
Great review, hun! I've only tried healthy mix and I think it is one of the best drugstore foundations. I don't believe the foundations which claims to stay on for like hours, because they never so and who would go 24 hours with foundation on...ReplyDelete
Have an amazing week, lovely! xx
Great review!ReplyDelete
Great review)ReplyDelete
Interesting review, Nadia! I've heard so many wonderful things about this Bourjois foundation. I hope to pick some up when I'm in London in a few months.ReplyDelete
Mallory // Perhaps Bananas
100% Agree, I love the bourjois Healthy Mix Serum, without a doubt my favourite from the high street. I am tempted by the maxfactor one with the swirls of white in it? no idea what it is called, but i'm so fussy over shades (im pale and cannot stand even being a little bit orange!)ReplyDelete
Maybelline is one of the best drugstore brandReplyDelete
I love it but i never tried this foundation so i need to see it soon.

Nadia, I really loved how you did this post, it was simple to see what you liked and disliked and you summed it all up nicely, great job! It's a shame we don't get Bourjois in the states (at least I don't think we do, I've never seen it) because I have heard some great great things about the brand in general. I've never tried any of these foundations but the first two do not sound like they'd work for me so thanks for doing the research and sharing with us. Hope you are having a great week gorgeous girl! XO -KimReplyDelete
Oh thank you so much for this Nadia - I am in need of a new foundation and I had no idea what to buy and I also have very, very sensitive skin so it's extra important to get a good one! I'll be sure to check this out and thank you again - you're a lifesaver, haha! :DReplyDelete
Filippa ⎮ Always a Dot
I hate foundations with a scent so the L'oreal isn't for me! My skin has never agreed with the dream match either, I've tried all the different versions! But I loooove Healthy Mix too, I use the serum version rather than foundation but love it xReplyDelete
Tamz | http://www.throughneweyesx.com
I have this in the middle but I don't like itReplyDelete
Great items Really interesting post...thx for sharing! xxReplyDelete
I haven't tried any of it, but healthy mix got my attention this time!ReplyDelete
The Bourjois foundation is my absolute favourite; I have extremely dry skin, but this gives me that healthy glow. You're right, it doesn't last very long, but I love it so much that I make it work - I find that using Soap & Glory's 'one heck of a blot' increases the longevity. Since switching to this foundation from my previous, I have also noticed a substantial decrease in breakouts. Do you notice the subtle scent of apricot? It's surprisingly pleasant!ReplyDelete
My sister on the other hand really loves the L'Oreal Infallible. It lasts ALL DAY and gives her a flawless, airbrushed canvas. She too has dry skin, but when I tried it out myself, my skin wasn't having any of it, haha.
I guess foundation is really personal. One thing I wish the drugstore did more often is include a wider shade range, because there isn't much to choose from for our darker sisters.

Ever since the Vietnam war...
Amy sat up.
Sweat beaded on her forehead and she was confused to where she was. The spare illumination from the moonlight only showed unfamiliar surroundings, after her eyes had adjusted to the dim light.
Had it just been a dream?
Or had she really been forced to write that dreaded headline?
She thought she could still see Lynch's sneering face during the interview, her insides churning with apprehension and fear.
Amy got up and opened the door of her room, stepping into the dark hallway. Carefully feeling her way along she entered the living room.
And breathed a sigh of relief.
There they were, BA sprawled in the middle of the floor under a pile of blankets, Murdock, in reaction to BAs sprawling, close to Face and Face squished between Murdock and the sofa.
Since the cabin they were holed up in, had only one bedroom, the guys had insisted that she take it, despite her protests that she was very much capable of sleeping on the floor, too.
Moonlight reflecting on hair, bathing it into a silver glow caught Amy's
attention and she looked at the fourth person, laying on the sofa. She figured
She did notice that he didn't have an ashtray nearby, so she picked one up from the table next to the sofa and handed it to him.
Amy blinked at that unexpected sight and he smiled at her.
'Go back to bed, Kiddo,'
Amy nodded.
He'd been worrying over them for ten years and would continue to do so. She could go to bed assured.
The guys were safe. For now.

This study investigates the effect of low levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on photo-oxidation of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) present in secondary effluent of a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Experiments were conducted using two types of flow-through reactor systems: (1) three ultraviolet light (UV) reactors connected in series without a H2O2 addition, and (2) a UV reactor with a H2O2 addition. In the first part of this study, 38 PPCPs detected in secondary effluent were examined based on their degradability by UV in the presence and absence of H2O2. For the PPCPs that were not degraded to or below their detection level, the pseudo first-order photo-oxidation rate constants, k (s-1), were determined using a mathematical model developed for three continuously stirred tank reactors in series. The second part of the study investigated the kinetics of the selected PPCPs in the UV/H2O2 reactor. The effect of low concentrations of H2O2 on the photo-oxidation rate of PPCPs was quantified by the power function expression. © 2016 American Society of Civil Engineers.

Bio-toxicity using luminescence of PFOA and PFOS was assessed by photomultiplier tube. The assessment was evaluated based on EC50 and transient profile in time with varying concentration of 0.0~250 mg/L in 6 steps. As a result, the toxicity was found out to be 150.3 and 237.7 in EC50 for PFOA and PFOS, respectively. Besides, the profiles depicted that PFOA is more toxic than PFOS. As a result of applying 1CFOK model where actual toxic kinetics were applied, high kinetics parameters showing biological concentration or damage were drawn in case of PFOA. Also, it is determined that PFOA has a significant effect of chronic toxicity on the residual concentration. PFOS does not show a higher toxicity than PFOA, but it shows a fatal toxicity at near 250 mg/L and it can be concentrated, so measures for this substance are necessary. © 2015 SERSC.

Transparent type noise barrier is a desirable facility since it provides a secure view to drivers and passengers. However, reflection from this type of barrier could annoy dwellers on the sides of the road. To reduce reflection noise by transparent type barrier, modification can be made to the shapes on the front side and hence get effects by distortion of sound transmission. To achieve this, we have conducted simulation by which the effects of patterned screens of noise barrier on high-ways were investigated. The reduction effects of reflected sounds were evaluated for swelling, swelling with curved, rectangular and V-shaped screen type barriers, compared to the planar panel. The emitting noise was generated by 6-lane road and the patterned noise barriers had shown the reduction effects, especially in swelling and swelling with curved type for middle height dwellers, and the V-shaped screen type for higher elevation dweller. The swelling-type showed a decrease of 0.7~1.2 dB, performing the best diminution effect among the tested noise barriers. © 2015 Korean Society of Environmental Engineers.

The ultimate goal of urban water infrastructure asset management may be sustainable water supply with satisfaction for customers. In this work, we attempted to evaluate the gaps between the perspectives of customers and service providers in Korea's water infrastructure asset management. To evaluate the customers' perspective, a hierarchical questionnaire survey was conducted to estimate the weights of influence for six customer values and their attributes on Korean water utility management. To evaluate the service providers' perspective, an AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) analysis was performed to estimate the weights of influence for the customer values and their PIs (performance indicators). The gap analysis results show that customers place higher value on customer service satisfaction (emotion and information) than do the service providers (managers), whereas the managers place more value on affordability than do the customers. The findings from this work imply that improving customer service is effective in satisfying the desirable water LOS (level of service) for customers. Recommendations have also been provided for administrators and engineers to develop integrated decision-making systems that can reflect customer needs regarding the improvement of their water infrastructure asset management. The findings from this work may be helpful for the Korean government and water supply utilities in improving the sustainability of their water infrastructure asset management. © 2015 by the authors.

14 Study Hacks To Beat The EXAM FEAR: Easy, Innovative And Effective!
March 3, 2017 11:49 pm | by HoneyEyedWitch | Posted in Connect, For Students, Resources
Exam Time is extremely challenging. A few bitten nails, severe headaches, empty Chai cups, and tonnes of sheets later, you think you are finally ready for D-Day. But just 2 hours before your exam, you see a question you've never seen, and you can feel the panic rising again! Avoid that moment. But how will you do that?
Well..Here are 14 Study Hacks to help you simplify the entire gigantic process of STUDYING! 😛
1. Write and Draw Everything you Read
Write everything as if you are writing it for someone else. Memorize diagrams by drawing them at least 3 times.
[Writing 1 time= 7 times of reading]
Remember this formula, it's tested.
2. Check your font while reading from the Laptop or Phone Screen.
We generally have all our notes emailed from the first benchers after a lot of buttering. 😛 Prefer a laptop screen over a smartphone screen to read them. And most importantly, check the font of the document. Change the font to TIMES NEW ROMAN.
[Times New Roman is the fastest font to read]
Yeah, thank me later. 😉
3. Don't just exert pressure on your brain. Walk- your body needs some care too.
Exercise is very important. Check your body posture while reading. Take a 10 minute walk every 30 minutes. Ideally, that is how you should break your study sessions into, to memorize your lessons better.
4. Change your Environment constantly.
I personally love to sit near a window with my books. Which is your favorite place? Well, try and sit somewhere else. It will break the monotony.
5. LOL and SOL formula!
We all know what LOL is! 😛 So maybe, take some time out to watch a Kenny Sebastian Video, or anything that will make you laugh, to relax. Now what's SOL you ask? Speak Out Loud. Yep. While reading, read it out loud. It is scientifically proven, that reading stuff out loud will stay longer in your brain.
6. Listen to unfamiliar Music- Something Unheard.
This is because familiar music tends to carry you away, and it will hamper your concentration. Listen to something without lyrics. Studies suggest that Hans Zimmer's Pandora is perfect to listen to, while studying. 😀
7. Make a Skeleton for every subject.
For every subject, make a skeleton of all the definitions, formulas, dates, and Names on a piece of paper. Just in sentences. This sheet will be crucial, as you will refer to it, 15 minutes before the exam. Trust me, this has saved a lot of people from killer questions. 😀
8. Read reference books and watch YouTube videos or documentaries.
"Yeah, we don't even have time to sleep, and study the regular syllabus, and you want us to read reference books?"
I know, I know..But this study hack is actually helpful, as well as refreshing. Keep some time out for these two things. Just try and see the difference. Visual impact is bigger than everything else. Always remember that.
9. Make a Cheat Sheet you'll never use.
Yep! This one is exciting. I know you won't agree, but all of us have this temptation to make cheat sheets and use them in the exam, at least once. Hahaha..here is a study hack which requires you to actually make some chits. Think like a cheater and make cheat sheets, obviously, don't take them into the exam hall. 😛 This is much better than reading long notes all the time.
10. Sit under bright lights to study.
This is more like a precaution. We generally ignore such minute details which can make so much of a difference! Sit under bright lights, preferably White ones, to avoid straining your eyes. It is also observed, reading and studying under bright lights improves your memory.
11. Adapt to 'Chunking'
'Chunking' is very essential to study smartly. It involves distributing your syllabus into various chunks to study them in regular intervals. This study hack is very convenient and ensures that you've covered everything important.
12. Keep in mind the 'Forgetting Curve'
The Forgetting Curve is more of a psychological thing. Studies suggest that if you read something you've been taught on the very same day, it stays in your brain longer than reading it after a long interval. So to not be a victim of the Forgetting Curve, try and be regular in at least reading whatever you have been taught in the class on the same day.
13. Study before Sleeping.
Yet another Scientific Study Hack. Studies from Notre Dame and Harvard found that studying half an hour before sleeping is extremely beneficial as during sleep, our brain stabilizes the memories of the whole day.
14. No Hacks will be effective if you don't Start revising- so Start! 😛
Lolol..Start right away! Use these Study Hacks and let us know in the comments if they are helpful to you!

We went on the night hike with Michael as the guide. He was extremely knowledgable and made the experience quite memorable. We saw many different types of frogs, snakes, spiders, and a kinkajou. They have a butterfly garden, enclosed crocodile area, that can be seen during the day. Book early because the night hike can fill up (only 8 persons max). The price of the night hike is $39/person
