James and I have started trying to make a 1/6 scale version of Hawkeye's Carbine Rifle "La Longue Carabine"

Hawkeye's Longue Carabine LaLongueCarabine027_zpsb28ea4e8
Here is the start basic softwood version

Hawkeye's Longue Carabine LaLongueCarabine022_zps477b20ad

and a standard pre smoothed shape

Hawkeye's Longue Carabine LaLongueCarabine005_zpsc7bbfa1b

Here's my specialist "White Feather" posing with the early basic shape feeling it for balance, grip and weight

Hawkeye's Longue Carabine LaLongueCarabine002_zpsdb842a80

White Feather says basically the La Longue Carabine still needs more whittling down and making more streamlining but the basic shape is getting there ...

Hawkeye's Longue Carabine LaLongueCarabine021_zps224566d2

Hawkeye's Longue Carabine LaLongueCarabine009_zps7cd2cbc4

Here's White Feather with his preferred weapon but he's ready to go back in time and test the old snipers weapon Lock Stock and Barrel

Cheers Jim I've always liked to tinker with stuff and brought James up to share this curiosity. I have just purchased the old 70s series of last of the Mohicans that was broadcasted on a Sunday afternoon by the BBC is this where you saw the shared powder sketch?
