Danny Powell .45. Absolutely beautiful work.







And you will like these too Old Dragoon!

This is a .45 B. Buckley flinter on top, the middle is the .40 Hershel House rifle, and the bottom is the .72 Blue Jacket Sanders trade gun.







Hershel's hand forged trigger guard.

Fantastic. Those boys could build! I don't remember Buckley unless it was the guy that wrote the book about recreating the Kentucky Rifle and he spelled his name differently.

 

[Phantom Captain]

Yep, no doubt about it!

Dad said Buckley was a guy pretty well known from Arizona I think. I guess he built rifles and then his wife would carve and do all the fancy work. After she died he still made rifles but they were plain afterwords. This is one of those. It's still really sharp and you can't really tell from the picture but the case hardening on the lock is gorgeous.

you guys are a bad influence on me, I just bought my first BP revolver on friday and already have about 100 balls through it, The first rifle I shot was a Hawken I built with my dad from a kit way back when I was about 11, and I honestly forgot how much fun BP is. I plan on getting a walker next, possibly a musket later on down the road

 

[Phantom Captain]

Hey alucard0822,

Happy to nudge you along the right path!

Nice army you picked up! They are fun aren't they?

A musket down the line eh? Hehehe.

Cincinatti Slim, Wow!! Nice irons you got there! Your loading stand is excellent too.

Gewehr98, LOVE that Sharps!! Always have had a soft spot for those too. That .45-70 looks like business!

Everyone keep posting! It's great to see everyones stuff! Really interesting! Even the inlines, I've never had any experience with those, must say they are still very foreign to me, but cool!

Old Dragoon!

Wow! Those original Remingtons are amazing!! LOVE that coach gun, wow!!
I'm drooling.

And the Henry too, Sweet!

What's the deal with the Belgian Colt Centaurs? I don't know anything about those. Did you change out the front sights on those or did they come that way with higher sights?

O.S.O.K. nice CS holsters there!

 

[Calibre44]

O.S.O.K

What are you loading into that Dragoon?

Love the loading rack - did you make it or buy it?. If you bought it ... where from? ... and if you made it - nice job!

 

[Old Dragoon]

PC, the Centaurs (centennial Arms) came with the taller sights. Thes are "Re-Issue, rather than Reproduction. The Centaur Company was licensed by Colt in the 1850's to build Brevette Colts. And they chose a Centaur as their trademark where Colt had a Horse. In 1960 William Edwards contracted with the same company to produce under license again, from Colt to Re-issue 1860 Belgian Colt Army's. Several types of Colts were produced. They were in business between 1960 to approx 1970. These were some of the first Guns to be used by re-enactors for the Civil War Centennial (hence the name Centennial Arms). William Edwards was a good friend of Val Forgett who statrted Navy Arms a bit later.
They are considered collector items and are in very much demand in Europe and becoming so here.
