These items are no longer available as they have been sold, but they do give you a good look at what Doc does and the quality of the goods that he makes and sells. Some are worth looking at just for the sake of the art and the inventiveness. Enjoy!
#556- Blanket gun- You are looking at a cut down North West gun, cut down in the traditional Plains Indian fashion to hide beneath a blanket. Actually, they were used from horseback as a close in hunting and fighting weapon and served their purpose admirably, as well as any Dragoon pistol. The excellent quality parts come from NorthStarWest, including the 16 inch long 20 gauge barrel and the fat sparking flintlock. All the traditional English London markings are on the barrel and lock, including the sitting fox. The walnut stock has good figure in it. It has a traditional oil finish plastered with tacks and wrist strap. The barrel has been blued just like the originals were, with the lock and trigger guard bright, also like the originals.
American indians liked their art asymmetrical. No two sides will look the same. Thus the circle in tacks on one side of the grip and the Iriqouis cross on the other. The barrel is shown bright above but has been blued, using traditional slow rust bluing, as shown in the photo below of the left side.
#558 J P Beck American Fowler- with a Colerain 50 caliber (28 gauge) barrel 42 inches long, tapered octagon to round, with Premium Siler flintlock by Chambers, and a gorgeous AAAA piece of tiger striped maple. The furniture is all brass, including the front sight. It is set up to shoot ball, but will occomodate shot as well, even using a 28 gauge plastic shot cup if you want, to improve patterns. The barrel is a Colerain, tapered octagon to round, no rear sight. The touch-hole is SunSetted just right at 0.70 for quickest fire. It shows some of Beck's great carving. The original J P Beck gun is illustrated in American Flintlock Fowlers, this one has a little more carving then the original. The metal is browned, the brass polished and the wood stained Lancaster red.
I proofed the gun at a speed match, running the Lew Wetzel against time, running back and forth between stations. I managed 7 shots in 3 minutes, no record, but did it by loading the powder from my hand and spitting a naked .490 ball down the bore. The target was 25 yards off. I was amazed at the resulting three inch group. With 60 grains powder and a patched ball, the group is even better.
#559- Southern Mountain Rifle- this is a traditional iron mounted southern mountain 'black rifle', with 40 inch, 15/16th octagon, 54 caliber barrel by Ed Rayl and with slow twist for big hunting loads. The lock is a premium Siler by Chambers with touch-hole sunsetted correctly for fastest ignition. The stock is Ash and plain as a yard of pump water, stained dark as I could get it. All the iron furniture is deep brown. It's only decoration is a fancy forged iron trigger guard and a bannana patch box. Obviously plain, obviously functional, surprisingly light, meant for creeping around in the dark woods, it will be a great hunter, a real killer on whitetail.
#563- Double Flintlock Fowler in side by side 12 gauge with 30 inch barrels and Colonial screw-in inter-changable chokes. The styling is late flintlock era English with lock panels tapered to the rear and the locks inset into the breech. The flintlocks are late style with double throated cocks and are fine sparkers. this particular lock has been very dependable through the years, spare parts are readily available. It is fired by double triggers, the front firing the right barrel and the rear the left. The touch-holes are stainless steel, counter-bored from within and SunSetted in the Right Place for the best of ignition.The buttplate and scroll trigger guard are blued iron, the fore-stock ovals are German silver, there is a single middle top rib with front bead in the classic style and two iron ferrules hold the ramrod. The furniture and locks are blued, the barrels browned. here is a bit of tasteful engraving here and there. Looks like the weight is about 7 1/2 lbs. Pull to the front trigger is 14.5 inches.
The locks are perfectly opposite each other, with a single long screw holding the two into the stock. The breeches are in the Manton style, with a hook on each barrel, both of which hook into the one piece tang. Taking the barrels off for cleaning is a cinch, just remove the two cross-keys and lift the barrls up and out. Replace them in the opposite manner.
You
can see how the lock panels are tapered to the rear, so your hand can get around
the grip better and the thumb reach the cocks (hammers) easier. The walnut is
pretty plain, but has good grain characteristics and is light enough to make the
gun quite handy. The chokes are super-full on the right and full on the left.
Of course, a selection of more open chokes is available. I set it up with the
tight chokes for turkey.
# 529 LIGHT 45 CAL BELT PISTOL, so called because of the belt clip, 45 caliber with a figured walnut stock with grain running wonderfully around and down thru the wrist. It sports a GRRW pistol barrel 6 inches long 13/16th diameter with 1-20 twist and deep rifling for round ball. The flintlock is a small Manton with touch-hole properly placed in the SunSet position. Trigger is single. There is an ebony fore-end tip. Furniture is all iron and classic English. There is only a front sight, obviously made to be used just outside the reach of the other guy's knife. There is a simple pin holding the barrel in place. There is a tapered hickory ramrod. This is a traditional defense weapon, very useful for the frontier persona.
#527- ENGLISH 58 CAL FULLSTOCK GENTLEMAN'S LONG RIFLE This gun looks much like an English fowler but is in fact a 58 caliber rifle with Colerain tapered octagon-round barrel 44 inches long. The lock is a Chamber's English round faced fowler, actuated by an elegant single set trigger that must be set to fire the rifle, the touch-hole is a stainless insert in the correct Sunset location. The rear sight is single leafed. Both the trigger guard and side plate sport chisled scenes. The wrist is delightfully checkered in the early fashion. All furniture is brass including a chisled thumb-piece. The stock is high grade walnut and buttstock shows some especially fine figure. I took it to a shoot at Price, UT , fired it enuff to sight it in, it is an impressive rifle. The Single Set Trigger and lock combination are ZAP fast. The front sight required a single adjustment with file to get it sighted in (on the first target). I didn't win much (it was a blanket shoot) but I was keeping up with the other shooters and their peep sighted percussion guns,
Although
the photos don't show it well, the brass sideplate and thumb-piece are chisled,
the sideplate with a hunting scene. The trigger guard is beautifully engraved as
it the top return on the buttplate. This rifle really holds nicely. It's a great offhand shooter.
#524- NORTH CAROLINA FLINT 54 CAL RIFLE. This flintlock rifle is a reproduction of the fine North Carolina rifle that Walt Guzzler owns and is so proud of. It was on the cover of Muzzle Blasts in Jan '05. The swamped Colerain barrel on this one is 54 caliber, with round bottomed rifling, but that's so you can shoot it. Somehow I don't think Walt shoots his. The stock is a gorgeous chunk of figured walnut, all the furniture is brass, there is a DST, with stainless touch-hole in the Right Place, the lock is one of Davis' fine quality Germanic copies. The proper side opening patch box is fitted with proper latch on the buttplate. The patchbox does not have any engraving, neither does the original, as the original was probably pretty early.
Walt
claims that the original probably came from the Salem or Bethebara gunshop. The
earliest smith was there in the 1750's, but who knows when the original
was made.
The
raised carving, on three levels, is a pretty strict copy of the original, at
least as good as I could get it from photos and a hasty examination of the real
thing several years ago. The figure on the walnut buttstock is quite good
although the original was stocked in dark stained maple. Note
the slightly stepped wrist and the early germanic trigger guard. The patchbox
opens by pushing down on the latch on the buttplate. The lid is spring loaded
and pops open to the side (hinge is on the bottom).
There
is more raised carving around the tang and lock mortices, all of it following
the original pattern.
The
drop of the buttstock is perfect for offhand shooting. Pull is 14 inches,
balance is excellent with weight in the 8 lb. range.
#518- CHRISTIAN BECK SIDE BY SIDE DOUBLE FLINT RIFLE- 45 caliber 3/4 inch diameter octagon rifled side by side barrels by Kelley, 40 inches long, set in a AAAA maple fullstock, each has its own tang and rear and front sight in the traditional manner, double triggers, the front operating the right lock/barrel and the rear operating the left, C Beck's traditional Rococco bas-releif carving with traditionally engraved brass mounts throughout, sports C. Beck's beautiful engraving, This C Beck's work all the way. This rifle is pictured in Kindig's big picture book on the Kentucky rifle in its Golden Age. You would think that it would be clumsy to use with double front and rear sights, but it's not, the stock configuration is very friendly and solves that problem nicely.
#532
Sharps model 74 by Shiloh in 45-110. Bore perfect, DST, Axtell rear vernier sight worth $300 alone, Globe front, includes a dozen cartridges, previous owner says he shot it fewer than 20 times.

One of these days I will refinish it and the price will go up. SOLD
#507 English Sporting rifle, 577 caliber for Minie ball or slip-fit bullet in 1 1/8th inch diameter octagon barrel, three groove rifling just like the originals, all steel mounts, steel under-rib with steel thimbles, English steel broad shotgun style buttplate, (no cheek-peice and VERY comfortable even with big loads), Browning single set trigger that fires set or un-set (with a much heavier pull), slotted adjustable elevation long bar rear sight, silver front sight on brass base, English bar-in-wood lock with flat spring supporting tremendously strong Manton style percussion breech with long tang, (for Vernier tall rear peep if you want), plain but strong fine-grained walnut stock with pistol grip held to the barrel with two steel keys in silver ovals. Browned metal throughout, iron tipped ramrod drilled and tapped for 8 X 32 fittings. As traditional as they come.
#547 Classic GR-Series Sporting Rifle in .504 caliber. August- The stock grew on a grey laminate tree, is stained English Red . The barrel is by White, round and tapered, 1 1/10th inches at the breech, in .504 caliber with 1-24 twist for White Slip Fit and Saboted bullets. The action is Classic English with heavy Manton style bolster for the nipple, leaf spring actuated Henry side lock and external hammer. There is a single trigger, a rubber recoil pad meant to mimic the English leather covered pads of yesterday, a single fore-stock cross-bolt held in place by German silver roundels and under-rib with two ferrules for the ramrod.
#528 HEAVY 54 CAL BELT PISTOL, so called because it has a belt clips, 54 caliber with a plain maple stock GRRW pistol barrel 8 inches long, one inch across the flats, with 1-20 twist and deep rifling for round ball.

Both the 480 gr .715 patched ball fired out of the smoothbore barrel (with .730 choke) and the 280 grain .570 ball fired from the rifle barrel hit point of aim one inch high at 25 yards, which puts them 3 inches high at 50 yards.

It is stocked with a gorgeous peice of AAA maple, has a Berks Co. buttplate, a Bess trigger guard with single scrolled trigger and a fine sparking LOTT trade gun flintlock. Barrel is an English Griffeth Fowler 12 gauge (.730 cal) 42 inches long, tapered octagon to round, by Colerain. The iron ramrod is from a Bess, mounted in French Fusil ferrules. All the furniture is brass, mixed provenance that it is, and all the more charming because of it. The gun fits a plug bayonet with 14 inch dirk blade
The lock has been polished bright as the originals often were. The brass fowler sideplate is enscribed "Liberty or Deth". The trigger is a single typical curled style, very non-military. The trigger guard is drilled for a sling swivel but there is not a forward swivel. The buttplate is an early one, rescued from another earlier ruined rifle. This Committee of Safety fowler-musket is typical of much of the Colonial production, scrabbled together from parts collected from a variety of sources, with a mix of military and sporting features, obviously meant to serve both as a militia weapon and as a means of collecting meat for the table.
The
plug bayonet is made to fit the barrel but would handle well as a fighting
knife, too. The blade is 14 or so inches long, well made from a dirk. All
fittings are brass.

#404- Original fullstock Plains rifle by Adolf Wurfflein of Philadelphia, original percussion sidelock with European style patent breech, (demonstrating Wuffleins European training), maple fullstock held to 54 caliber heavy octagonal barrel by three keys (replaced by some idiot with brass), brass buttplate and trigger guard (which once had a hook on it), Brass patchbox, which is filled with a thick whitish grease (smalls like bear grease), single lockbolt on teardrop escutcheon, Tennessee type cheekpeice,. There are small repairs to the fore-stock near the muzzle on both sides, old ones very nicely done. This rifle was probably built in the 1840-60 era, shipped West and sold on the frontier or carried west by a pioneer crossing the plains. It came from a family in Salt Lake City who have owned it for generations but who don't know whence it came to SLC. It has obviously had pretty good care, bore is still shootable
#404 by A. Wurfflein. think of the stories this rifle could tell! Buffler. Injuns. Maybe Californee and back with the Mormon Battalion.
#466- White Whitetail, Blue, 451 caliber, we traded into this well used barreled action, has a few pits in the breech end of the barrel. I lapped the barrel and accurized it and it shoots surprisingly well despite the pitting.
#464-
H&R Topper, older model with White 24 inch 504 caliber accurized barrel insert, Williams adjustable sights fore and aft. Stock is the original H&R finished black. Ramrod ferrules are steel with sling swivel studs. White breechplug for 336 primer installed. This is the rifle that Doc used to work up the 336 primer. This breechplug has been modified by tapping for the Savage .032 touch-hole insert, which has worked out very well. It shoots really quite accurately with 30 grains of 5744 and my 50/45-435 Power Star bullet.
#452- Doc built 69 cal flintlock fullstock fowler, meant for turkey, Bill Large barrel tapered octagon-round, with low open sights and modified choke built in, 40 inches long. Solid but unfigured walnut fullstock with surface mounted brass fittings, English style trigger guard and buttplate, sparse engraving.
This fowler is a great hunting gun, shoots 75% patterns with a 16 gauge plastic shot collar and 1 1/2 oz hard shot over 110 gr Black Powder, ignition is clearly superior because of the excellent lock and patent breech with stainless counter-bored touch-hole insert, good for shooting on the fly. Balance is superb. I have had some great hunts with it. It has 4 turkeys to its credit to date.
#419- Doc built Picket Rifle, late percussion Midwest style half stock with German silver furniture, nice quality walnut stock with modest figure, pewter fore-end tip, tapered GRRW barrel true 500 caliber land to land, grooves 10 thou deep and 1-30 twist for elongated picket or suger loaf bullet (465 grain bullet shaped like a sugar loaf and shot with a patch, loaded with a straight line starter) DST, Dimmick style lock, Manton/Dimmick style breech is very strong yet handsome, long tang with mounted tall Vernier rear sight for accurate work with hooded front.

The rifle has been accurized and will shot a group at 100 yards that will knock your eye out with 65 grains 777 and a 460 grain PowerPunch bullet. The rifle weighs 6 lbs.

#485- White M97 504 caliber Ultra Mag, especially made just for Sportsman's Warehouse.
The
stock is particularly elegant and extremely functional. It not only holds well
for off hand or rest shooting but is also quick to the shoulder and reduces felt
recoil to an amazing degree. It has just a touch of palm swell for either right
or left handed shooter and the drop at he toe and broad butt are perfect .
B&C has done a suberb job with Doc's basic design. SOLD
#479- White Thunder shotgun. This is the same shotgun as the Tominator. 12 gauge, blued straight rifled barrel 25 inches long with ventilated rib and Hastings Super Turkey choke
#493- Whitetail #WS 1722 , 504 caliber stainless steel rifle with 22 inch barrel
478- White M97, an early one modified for Browning back when they were testing the White guns. This particular one has a trigger modification: instead of the trigger being fastened on with a single screw, it is strengthened by having two pins passing transversley through the trigger body. It is a sturdy setup. It has a milled round hole cut so Browning could see the sear action, which does not show above the stock. Has hand stamped 'Browning test' on the left and White 504 1697 on the other.
#347-Doc built custom Super Safari, based on Super 91 action, 410 caliber, black ripple finished walnut fullstock replete with incised roccoco carvings, brass trigger guard, brass side-plates, brass side opening patch box, engraved on the patch box with a rattlesnake and the words "DON'T TREAD ON ME", signed 'Gary White- Gunsmiith' on side-plate.
#415- Doc built 'American Jaeger' a copy of a transitional rifle halfway from pure Jaeger to pure Kentucky, typical of those built in the French and Indian War era. The general conformation of the rifle is Christian Springs, the engraving is after F Klett, who worked in Sevensburg, near Culpepper, Va.

#422- Doc built 12 gauge French Fowler, 42 inch long 12 gauge Getz tapered octagon to round barrel, Lightly figured maple stock, great sparking, quality French Fusil flintlock and brass French furniture, serpentine sideplate, sparse carving and light engraving. Metal finished a deep, deep brown to enhance the stained and oil rubbed wood. Was sent to Track of the Wolf, but UPS managed to break it through the wrist. I fixed it with a lengthwise steel wrist pin and epoxy, added a silver turtle and brass sheet repair in the antique style, added some brass tacks for that authentic look. I put a screw-in Colonial choke in it and took it turkey hunting this Spring. Killed two big Toms with it.
The pics above were taken AFTER the fix on the gun, If you look close you might be able to see the break through the wrist and the fix, using a silver turtle and decorative tear-drop wrist plate on either side to disguise the break. The real fix of course is the 6" steel pin epoxied inside the wrist. You could run over it with your Suburban now and not break it again.
#109 Javelina Shotgun, prototype, the only one ever made by Doc, a prototype that never went anywhere. 12 Gauge cut down Tominator barrel with straight rifling, Colonial interchangable choke, Bolt trigger, uses the usual loading for the Tominator.

Figured Myrtle stock with 14 inch pull over inch thick recoil pad, Lancaster stain and Brownell's Acra-Coat waterproof epoxy finish.
#505 White Whitetail #XXOO69 "Sabot Shooter". Stainless steel whitetail in 504 caliber that shoots sabots so well that I marked it that way. 80 grains of 777 under a 50/45-435 saboted ShootingStar bullet is marvelously accurate and very hard hitting. A perfect rifle for Whitetail deer hunting.
#506 White Whitetail 504 caliber , serial K0046, a Whitetail kit that was traded back for a higher dollar item, which ended up finished with Brownell's Acra Coat epoxy finish. Stainless barreled action, the usual Bold trigger and Williams sights, recoil pad and sling swivels.
#510 Doc-built GRRW Bridger Hawken 54 caliber with GRRW octagon barrel in figured maple halfstock, all steel mounts in the classic traditional style, stamped S Hawken St Louis with GRRW's original stamps. My cipher and the GRRW name (which I own) is under the barrel near the breech.

The ramrod is 3/8th inch with a brass tip, drilled and tapped for accessoroies.

The side by side flintlocks are great sparking Silers, with the breeches inset to fit the locks and the lock tail bent inward a little on each side to narrow the grip. It has double triggers with the front firing the righted sided shotgun barrel and the left firing the left sided rifle barrel. Touch-holes are stainless with perfect location. Rear sight is a decorative folding leaf and the front a steel blade inset into the rib. It is equipped with a tapered steel ramrod and a Pachmeyer Old English recoil pad, meant to mimic an antique English leather covered pad.
#509 Doc-built Classic Dimmick St. Louis Plains rifle in AAA maple stock, GreenRiverRifleWorks octagon 1 and 1/8th inch diameter 54 cal barrel with deep grooves and 1-66 twist for round ball, Dimmick style brass trigger guard and butt plate, English traditional flat-spring bar-in-wood lock supporting super-strong Manton style English percussion breech with long tang double bolted to long bar DST St. Louis style, dove-tailed adjustable rear sight with brass and silver front sight, steel under-rib and thimbles, double fore-arm keys in brass ovals, hardwood ramrod tipped in brass, drilled and tapped for accessories. This is a classic western plains rifle authentic in every detail, a better rifle than any Hawken because of the Manton Breech set-up plus the double tang bolts securing the long DST.

I have come to beleive that the Dimmick design was in many ways superior to the Hawken, even though the Hawken is more famous. What I like is the massive Manton style breech with the lock supported by the barrel bar, a far stronger arrangement than the Hawken. This rifle is the epitome of traditional.
#508 Doc-built Dimmick St Louis Plains style rifle but for .450 slip-fit White/Whitworth style elongated bullet, Douglas octagon barrel one inch in diameter signed H E Dimmick St. Louis on top barrel flat. .451 caliber with 1-20 twist and shallow .035 grooves, uses White PowerPunch .450 slip fit bullets It's been accurized, it shoots 65 gr. 777 and a White 460 gr Power Punch into a ragged hole at 100 yards with the mid-range tang peep and Lyman front.
With Idaho having passed rules requiring sidelock ignition, this is the perfect rifle for an Idaho Elk hunter: it has the required sidelock, open ignition and throws a heavy bullet. It is the muzzleloading equivalent of a 45-70 or better.
# 501 Tennessee Southern Mountain Barn Rifle, high quality 7/8th X 42 inch octagon 40 caliber barrel by Rayl, all steel mounts including bottom wear plate, antler butt guards at tip and toe, (top is elk, bottom is moose) single trigger, handmade flintlock by old Whiskers Cole (dead these many years) sparks beautifully from a single trigger.

#421- Doc built Jaeger, 54 caliber Colerain barrel with round bottom rifling, barrel is 31 inches, swamped, making the rifle very fast with superb balance. Stock is BEAUTIFUL dense cherry, early Germanic flintlock, Traditional DST, carved wooden patch box cover with latch, brass furniture throughout, incised and bas relief carved in the transitional Baroque/Rococco style, the lion on the butt behind the cheek-peice bas-relieved and the rest of the scrolling on both sides incised carved. The engraving matches the provenance of the carving with the lion motif carried through.
#531 Doc-built percussion sidehammer 12 smoothbore over with 58 rifled under, actuated by old original back-action locks with double triggers. Nipples are located on screw-out drums equipped with clean-out screws. This type of simple arrangement is by far the world's easiest to fix and maintain in the field. The right trigger fires the shotgun barrel (on top) which is equipped with a screw +in-out Colonial full choke, the rear trigger fires the 58 rifle barrel (on the bottom) Rifle barrel is by GreenRiver RifleWorks. Both the 480 gr .715 patched ball fired out of the smoothbore barrel (with .730 choke) and the 280 grain .570 ball fired from the rifle barrel hit point of aim one inch high at 25 yards, which puts them 3 inches high at 50 yards. The 58 rifled group is of course tight to touching while the smoothbore-well, shoots like a smoothbore, saucer sized groups at 50 yards. Sights are plain open rear and brass brazed front. There are two ramrods, one with a tulip flare for the shotgun, the other for the rifle. The rifle rod is tapped for cleaning accessories. Both are held on by three steel ferrules, a long one at the rear on each side , then two short ones mid and fore-barrel. Buttplate is checkered steel. Stock is figured maple. The guns weighs slightly in excess of 7 lbs. This is an extremely functional yet great traditional combo. It should be terrific for deer and turkey.
The right drum and nipple is in the usual location but the left is quite low, requiring a long nose on the left side lock.
