Rifle Builder?

[bikered]

Gents,
Last week I saw a segment on the Outdoor Life channel (or something like it) while channel surfing.  They did a 1/2 piece on a fellow that builds flintlock rifles, in the original tradition.  If anyone else saw this program, did you, by chance, get the gentleman's name?  I didn't, but would sure like to find out more about his rifles.  Jim Scouten (American Shooter) was test firing one of his rifles.  His shop is in Kentucky (or Tennesse) and looks like an old time gunsmith's shop should.  He would go across the street, put a playing card on a stick and start shooting.

Any help is appreciated.  ED

I didn't see the show and there are several builders in Tenn. but both Herschel and Frank House come to mind as good builders who can and do use traditional methods. Herschel has even made instructional videos and they both have been featured in many books and magazines.
Hope this helps.

Regards, Dave
