[QUOTE="bearincamo, post: 972165, member: 62244"] I love the look of the old Kentucky style rifles of the American Revolution. So I was wondering if anyone has ever built a bolt action to have that classic look. Basically I was thinking of taking a bolt action rifle, fit an extra long heavy barrel to it and carve a Kentucky long rifle style stock out of rosewood or cherry. Then embellish with brass and leather. I would also like to at least try to float the barrel without it looking floated. But if necessary I will just bet the barrel really well. Maybe with a heavy barrel floating isn't very crucial? My goal is to have the look of a Kentucky Long Rifle with modern components. (and maybe a magazine with 5 or more rounds?) Has anyone done anything like this? [/QUOTE]
