    Steve's work is always a joy to see. One of the first of Hershel's followers, Steve puts his own spin on the style. The patchbox on this gun is wonderful - simple in design, but so many neat subtle details tucked away into, and around it - lots of little interesting details tucked away all over this rifle - like the front sight. A really nice example of perfectly executed, but restrained decoration that fits the style of gun.

    These iron mounted, stepped wrist (or "stepped toe" as Wallace Gusler terms them") have become one of my favorite styles of longrifle.

    Not sure I'm doing this right. I have the very first Steve Davis rifle he built sorry I have to sell it but. I am dying. It's featured in Baird's buckskin report 50 Cal swamp special getz 34" barrel syler lock all iron Jaeger. Wooden patch box. 3/9/22 my first anouncement.
