Fusil de Tulle
My take on the Tulle fusil-de-chasse!
Made everything on it except for the barrel and lock and worked using exclusively handtools. The lock bolts, tang screw, tumbler screw and wood screws are all filed by hand. Forged buttplate and trigger guard. The ramrod pipes are also handmade.

American walnut stock

54 caliber Stutz Jaeger.

Fusil Appalachien
40 caliber Appalachian rifle.
44″ swamped barrel by Rice Barrels. Nock flintlock and Estes set trigger by Buck Ridge flintlocks.
All of the hardware was forged from a 3/4″ bar of wrought iron.

The forced patina was also made with my mix of ferric chloride and aqua fortis.

Here’s a few pictures of the rifle inspired by Hershel House instructions in the volume 5 of the Foxfire book series.
As simple as a rifle can be. Wood, barrel and lock, the rest of the parts are forged in mild steel.

The forced patina was made using my homebrew mix of aqua fortis and ferric chloride.
The grease hole is filled with a mix of black bear tallow and beeswax.
Everything was made using traditional handtools.
