Building the Daniel Boone Rifle featuring Mike Miller

Noted gunbuilder Mike Miller from Edmonton, Kentucky uses his vast knowledge of American firearms to recreate a likely possibility of what must be very similar to what Daniel Boone would have carried: a brass-mounted, maple-stocked, long-barreled flintlock rifle with a wooden patchbox, featuring bold architecture that was prevalent prior to the Revolutionary War.

Mike demonstrates his techniques to teach how to build this traditional flintlock rifle. Starting with a curly maple stock blank, a long tapered and flared octagon barrel, a lock and some brass castings, Mike demonstrates in detail how you too can build a fine flintlock rifle that would have been common on the frontier among longhunters and early settlers.

This four disc DVD set is 5 hours and 20 minutes of detailed instruction taped in HD on location at Mike Miller's shop.

Allen Chronister Legging Set with Mark Miller

This is part of a Lakota style, ca. 1860 shirt and leggings set. I did all the beadwork in old stock Italian beads, sewn with deer sinew on buckskin. The pieces were then constructed, painted, and finished by Mark Miller. All hides traditionally brain processed deerskin, hairlocks all human or horse hair. A.C.
