Master gunsmith Steve Zihn, who made the huge 2 bore rifle I have blogged about before, emailed these photos of this magnificent .54 caliber flintlock rifle he built.

    B Jeffery,

    The best place to reach Steve Zihn would be at the Nitro Express forums. Just sign up and send him a Personal Message.

    Now that I’ve given you this information, you must solemnly promise to send pictures of whatever you have built here to Steve at The Firearm Blog as well as post pictures on the forums. Ha, ha!

    All the very best!
