This rifle is new and unfired. It is made using top grade maple, custom lock and a 46" .50 cal Rice barrel. The all incised carving is in the areas of behind the cheek piece, barrel tang, on both sides of wrist and along the forestock. The silver star, thumbplate, toeplate and patchbox are engraved. The wood and metal has been given a slight patina. The stock has been scraped and burnished.

So we could name this rifle "Perseverance" because it has led to perfection
