Longrifle Plans 

FREE YOURSELF FROM THE PRE-CARVED STOCK!  

Full scale plans are printed on 22”x36” white paper, and show the lock side, cheek side, and top view of the rifle, as well as cross-sections of the forestock, lock, wrist, and buttstock.  Details of the sideplate, triggerguard, buttplate, patchbox, and other small parts are typically included. Carving is drawn on the buttstock and other appropriate areas. The carving design should not be directly copied onto your stock, as it will not lay correctly on a curved surface. 

Actual printed plans do not have the "Copyright" watermark across them; that is only on the website. 
​
Some of my plans are based upon photographs and dimensions of original guns, while others are drawn from tracings I have personally taken.  Plans are typically drawn as a "blend" of two or more original arms by a period maker.  In some circumstances, I have omitted particular identifying details of a specific antique, and replaced these areas with details generally in the style of the original arm.  

Plans serve as excellent study guides for those looking to branch into building a unique rifle from a blank, and provide you with the lines and details needed to produce an authentic and aesthetically pleasing piece.  I recognize that paper does not last long in a workshop environment, and customers who purchase a Full Scale plan are allowed to make copies as needed for strictly personal use.
