Southern Mountain Rifle kit with enhancements built by Art DeCamp:
Southern Mountain Rifle by Art DeCamp - This is a Kibler SMR kit rifle assembled and significantly enhanced by Art as he made this piece. It is in .45 cal, so it is suitable for deer hunting and is a very nice light weight rifle. I has the following "extra" touches added by the maker.
- Iron banana shaped patchbox,
- Hand filed "wedding band" molding on the butt plate,
- relief carved moldings on the bottom ot the butt stock and on the forestock.
- sterling silver engraved inlays on the cheek piece, and soldered to the bow of the trigger guard.
- The lock has been engraved,
- a second front lock screw was added of additional stability of the lock itself.
- The rear set trigger is opened up and reshaped just a bit to make it easier for one's finger to fit in it.
- Hand filed "wedding band" rings on the iron ram rod pipes.
- Poured pewter nose cap
- German silver front sight
- Toe plate added to enhance the strength of the toe of the butt
- Slightly aged and handled highlights added to the stock.
As you can see from the photos this is a fine-looking rifle with a nicely figured curly maple stock. It has been carefully aged to show just a bit of handling use, and it shoots very well with the load I worked up for it. Price is $2,495.00. Please contact me by phone or email if you are interested. I can arrange shipping or delivery to a future event.
Banded Tennessee Style Screw-tip Horn:
Banded and "Aged" Tennessee Style Screw-tip Horn w/screw out button in Butt: This authentic powder horn is patterned after horn #TE 14 in Jay Hopkins book "Bone-Tipped & Banded Horns - Volume II". The horn has nice curve and twist, with a natural black horn screw tip. The butt is turned from maple and has a threaded horn button at the butt for strap attachment and upon removal aids in filling the horn. Three horn bands are on the body of the horn and it is nicely "aged" with patina and wear added to the surface.
The horn measures approximately 11" across and has a 2-1/2" diameter butt.
Price $395.00, plus $10.00 for postage.
Tennessee Style Screw-tip Horn with bands:
Tennessee Style Horn Screw-tip Horn with Two Bands and Screw-out Button: This authentic powder horn is patterned after Horn TE-15 in "Bone-tipped & Banded Horns - Volume II. Jay Hopkins believes these horns have a connection to Tennessee as several have been found with ties to the eastern half of that state. It has been lightly "aged" with a nice light yellowish body with two applied bands. The one-piece screw-tip is the "rattle snake" turning. The tip can be reversed to act as a funnel when filling the horn. The maple butt is hollowed inside and at the top to allow the threaded horn button for strap attachment to also be removed for filling the horn. These original horns have very good quality turning and threading which I have carefully replicated. They utilized special iron nails for the attachment of the butt that had the nail heads clad with thin brass caps. This horn has these historically "correct" attachment nails.
The horn measures 12-1/4" across and 2-3/8" diameter at the butt. It has nice curve and twist.
Price $390.00, plus $10.00 for postage.
Kentucky Style Pinned-tip Horn with band:
Kentucky Style Horn with Pinned Horn tip and one Band: This powder horn is patterned after Horn KY 14 in "Bone-tipped & Banded Horns - Volume II. Jay Hopkins believes these horns have a connection to Kentucky as several have been found with ties to that state. It has a nice golden yellow body with one applied band that covers the joint between the horn and maple wood butt. The butt has an integral button capped with a single brass tack. The pinned horn tip is a natural caramel color. I have handled and owned other horns from the same shop as TE 14 and feel they are all very pleasing, yet simple horns.
The horn measures 13-1/2" across and 2-9/16" diameter at the butt. It has nice curve and twist.
Price $375.00, plus $10.00 for postage.
Fine Randolph County, NC Style Banded and Pinned Antler Tip Horn:
Randolph County North Carolina Horn with Pinned Antler tip and Bands: This powder horn is patterned after an original in my collection. It is the typical Randolph County style horn from just south of the Salem, NC area. This horn has a light brown maple butt with integral button for strap attachment. There is a brass tack in the top of the button for accent. The two-piece antler tip is very closely copied from my original and has the typical leather stopper found on these horns. The horn body is greenish in color and there are three caramel colored horn bands applied to the horn.
The horn is pictured on a primitive bag with a patched bullet hole by Eric Fleisher. The horn measures 10" across and 2-1/8" diameter at the butt. Price for horn by itself is $380.00, plus $10.00 for postage.
"Aged" Tennessee Style Horn Screw-tip Horn with Screw-out Button: This authentic powder horn is much like several originals I have owned or handled. Jay Hopkins believes these horns have a connection to eastern Tennessee (possibly the Nashville area) as several have been found with ties to the eastern half of that state. It has been significantly "aged" with nice patina on the brownish horn body and "carry wear" evident on the inside of the horn and wood butt. There is wear from the carry strap just in back of the screw tip. The one-piece screw-tip is the "rattle snake" turning. The tip can be reversed to act as a funnel when filling the horn. The maple butt is hollowed inside and at the top to allow the threaded horn button for strap attachment to also be removed for filling the horn. These original horns have very good quality turning and threading which I have carefully replicated. They utilized special iron nails for the attachment of the butt that had the nail heads clad with thin brass caps. This horn has these historically "correct" attachment nails.
The somewhat larger horn measures 12-1/2" across and 2-5/8" diameter at the butt. It has nice curve and twist.
Price $375.00, plus $10.00 for postage.
