In 2011 Jud commenced an ambitious project to build his fifth Mansker bench copy and including all the accouterments that would have been part of a frontiersman's hunting kit. This project was documented by me in a self published book: The Mansker Suite.
There follows a selection of photographs from this book documenting the making of this rifle and its suite of associated accouterments incorporating the design motifs of the original rifle and the original powder horn.
