Howdy everyone, I'm new here but not to the sport built my first rifle back in 1980. I have a .50 side lock a .50 inline ( I know, but I wasn't going to scope my side lock and my eyes are failing fast! I just bought a .32 for squirrel that I haven't even sighted in yet. BUT!!! The reason I'm here is to find info on my latest addition and the pride of my gun cabinet.... A .45 flinter built by BJ Habermehl of PA. It's a sexy full stocker of I think the lancaster style? Anyhow it was the 30th anniversary raffle gun for Dixons makers fair!!! The lock is a Chambers the stock from Wayne Dunlap. The barrel is a getz blank rifled by Mel and Paul Hartranft at last yrs makers fair. The castings are from a man named Keck. Any info from the community would really help me learn more about this remarkable rifle. Thanks guys!

Welcome to the campfire, njfrontstuffer. You have a deluxe rifle totally out of my league. I have a .45 LL and love the style and caliber. I'm sure others will post with help.

Welcome to the fire. Great group with a lot of helpful people that have been real good to me. I too wish I could help answer your questions but again it is out of my league as well. I know there are others that can help you though. Just wanted to welcome you in.

Hey Stuffer, Welcome to the fire, for sure. Now, for more proper details about your rifle you might want to go back to Dixon's. Shoot sharp, Mike
