Kathy's Rifle

         

This rifle was built for the most important person in Jim Kruse's life, his wife Kathy.  It's of the Reading school, in the style of John Bonewitz. A true lady's rifle, this .36 caliber tack-driver weighs just over 6 lbs and features a 38" swamped barrel, a Siler percussion lock .and is mounted in a cherry wood stock.
