A French Fusil Flintlock, by Terry Briggs

[gizamo]

This was a custom build. It was years in the making....as in my begging, whining, whimpering,....and all the other ing's.

Basically, Terry quit building guns many years ago.

Guess he still has one or two left to get done...;

.62 Cherry stocked Fusil....Fin.

It looks elegant. May I ask how many years you had to wait? Don't think I'd have had the patience if it was more than a couple of years.

Charlie,

Once Terry decided to build the gun.... It was done in five weeks. He still has all the the skill and talent that he once did...

If anything, the best is still yet to come.

Oh my gosh, that is a beautiful piece.

Oh my gosh, that is a beautiful piece.

Not quite what I said but close enough for the forum.

Beautiful.

Giz, there are lots of guys on this forum with lots of nice toys, but yours are the coolest.

A little backstory is in order...

Over the years, Terry and his wife Michelle have become dear friends of mine. They both supported me and opened doors for me in the Vous community. Good folks, none better. Folks like that often get taken advantage of. And stop creating....

The best part of this deal was getting a Master at his craft, to once again practice his art....
