Perfect length an weight, a real sweetheart,

Excellent job Mr. Stolzer

Thank you. It ought to make whitetail meat anyways.

BTW my father is Mr. Stolzer....Colin suits me fine.

Beautiful rifle in every respect. You do very nice work!

Terry

Thank You.

I really like this one. Can you tell us more about that action? Does the maker have a web site?

As far as I know Pete Allen doesn't have a website. Pecatonica River Muzzleloader Supply(they have a website) retails them for $250.00 plus shipping. I buy direct from Pete.

Very nice, and I'll wager there's a happy customer to boot.

Gratz

Thank You.

Actually there is no customer with this one, I built it as a speculation gun for the NMLRA Spring Nationals, just to have in my booth. I'm hoping it will sell during the week and pay for the cost of my trip.

Very beautiful! I love looking at your rifles.
Craftsmanship through and through.

Very nice looking rifle. Something a bit different. I like it.
I saw those actions for sale on the Pecatonia River website quite a while back and wondered a bit what they'd look like done up complete.
Thanks for the pics.
