Was wondering if those of you out there that have put a design on your rifle's stock or forearm using brass tacks would be willing to post pictures of them here. I am trying to put together a couple of ideas of what I would like to do for a rifle or two of mine. (Any models of rifle acceptable, 1866, Henrys, 1873, 1876...)
Thanks everybody

What was done to that poor Ballard is a crying shame, but I sure do like this one.

Here's one of a VERY few (perhaps the only still existing) Henry Carbines, and it was owned by the great Yellowstone Kelly.  It is more of a carved design, but there IS one tack.  I personally find it to be VERY handsome.
