Built in 2002, this blunderbuss was the first firearm produced in 25 years by this builder and the very first attempt at engraving. The brass barrel is a 4 gage Ed Rayle modified by the builder to add the silver brazed and machined decorative muzzle rings. The stock wood was recovered from a locally felled walnut tree and the barrel was hand inlet. The butt plate and trigger guard are commercial Brown Bess castings and the lock was a spare from an early Pedersoli Brown Bess.

Cesar - same apologies....The barrel I used for this blunderbuss is made by Ed Rayl and is a 4 gage. I machined and then silver brazed the muzzle rings on myself as Ed makes the barrel with a plain flared muzzle. I think all the dimensions are listed on the web site for Stonewall Creek Outfitters.
