Ron Luckenbill for Mark Steel

This rifle was built entirely to the desires of the client. He selected a very nicely figured piece of locally harvested black walnut. The client provided the 7/8" straight 50 cal. barrel. He selected the Lehigh Co. stock architecture and requested that the gun be built as a half stock. The metal parts were rust blued. The check piece inlay was selected by the client. This is an example of "cherry picking" designs and features which worked well to produce a pleasing end product. Such is not always the case.
