Silver Wire Rifle by Ron Luckenbill

This rifle was built to the desires of the client. It was given a silver wire decoration in lieu of a patchbox, as well as several other silver wire decorations. The gun had a lot of personalization. The wife's name, Sue, is worked into the wire design on the cheek piece side in very ornate script. The four inlays on the forestock are each engraved with a child's name. An engraved inlay on the toe line shows a "pipe wrench" since the owner is a plumber. This is not a traditional long rifle, but Contemporary work has its merits as well.
