A Collaboration in Gun Building | Chuck Edwards and Hershel House, Muzzle Blasts Archives2004

I first met Chuck Edwards in October of 2001 at a rendez­vous in bis hometown of Bloomfield, Missouri. I recognized him from a photograph in an article written by Ted Franklin Belue entitled "Chuck Edwards: Steeped in the Woodbury Tra­dition." As a gun builder myself I have been a longtime ad­mirer of Hershel House (ever since the Foxfire 5 article), and more recently of Chuck Edwards.

Up Close and Personal with an RW Wright Flintlock Pistol from 1977

The pistol features a 54 caliber swamped barrel, but from the looks of the rifling, this was once a rifle barrel or section of a rifle barrel. Having shot it several hundred times, at NMLRA events, Max says it's quite accurate.
