Old Mill Springs Custom Rifles

Nice curly maple plank here -- cut into gun planks. Soon to be a muzzleloader for some lucky customer

If you are interested in owning a custom muzzleloader, now is a great time to get in touch. Call (814) 977-0378 or shoot an email to [email protected]. Happy to answer any questions for an ameteur rifle owner to a seasoned expert. Always great to share and learn.

Took a little hiatus from this whole facebook thing. Been working on some guns and will have some pictures to come.

Found a Butterfly Bannerstone used as a weight on an atlatl. Just for those who aren't sure what that is, I have uploaded a picture. These weights are museum quality and were found in a field in Bedford. They were used by arcaic hunters who quite possibly did not even have a known tribal name. Very excited about this find.

Custom muzzleloaders take about a month to make so if you or someone you know would like a handcrafted Bedford Rifle for a holiday gift, now is the time to place the order!

This is a before and after picture of the ram rod pipes made from sheet brass. They're then file shaped to the finished product.

Locks and triggers are all hand made precision fit brass and silver pieces. They are cut from sheet stock or rolled from silver coins. This is a hand made Bedford County lock. It took four hours just to make the hammer.

High quality curly maple is used for all rifles!

Custom Rifle #4 of the year. Happy to hand this over to its owner, Kirby.
