My second Shreyer rifle - again with interchangeable barrels, .50 calibre rifled, and .55 calibre smoothbore. I didn't know it then, but George Shreyer was a Mason.
My elder son Rob, being about eleven years old, needed a rifle, so I made him a .40 calibre scaled-down version of an early Jacob Dickert rifle. At Friendship, we started the kiddie's match on the Primitive range, which became quite popular.
