Richmond Carbine builders?

[Rambill]

I've been considering a Richmond carbine for a while. Now that (I believe) no one is making them as a production item, who out there does this? Not necessarily custom, but also just modifying standard 1861 Springfield or Richmond reproduction muskets.
I live in Oregon and don't have ready access to a lot of the great sounding events/shoots that occur in the East. So I'm just trying to see who does good work for other interested shooters.
Thanks,
Bill Rice

S&S used to shorten Euroarms Richmond Muskets but there isn't Euroarms any more.

Just a "heads up". Armi-Sport is in pre-production of a Richmond carbine at this time. (Richmond lockplate, not Springfield) I have one ordered for testing. Have no idea of del. date. :shock:

Bob

Steve Doyle builds a great Richmond Carbine. Steve uses original wood and as much original metal as the buyer wants. There are many Richmond Carbines on the line that are Doyle built. Steve can be reached at 315-589-9020.
