Episode 6 - Greg Murry, Rifle Maker

We talk with Dr. Murry about The Covid response, virtual learning, retirement, and the future of Conway Public Schools

Dr. Greg Murry, Superintendent of Conway Public Schools

 In this episode we sit down with Greg Murry, the craftsman behind the Crockett Longrifle Project.  After having built his first longrifle for his 9-year -old son in the 1990s, Greg was bitten by the bug of muzzleloader building.  Having never thought himself an artist, he built 4 muzzleloaders before diving in headfirst into making original works.  Greg's work is not tied to a specific medium, he builds long rifles, knives, tomahawks, accouterments, and creates his own version of hanging art he calls "Steel Canvases".  Listen today to hear Greg's story of getting into the world of muzzleloading and how he stumbled into seeing some of the only original Crockett Longrifles in existence and how he works to preserve their history. Greg shares some wonderful down to earth stories about his life and his work. With historic references to back up his work, this episode is a great point of reference for anyone researching the Crockett Family Longrifles.  Greg delivers an exact copy of the original Crockett rifle with a  certificate of authenticity documenting the reproductions serial number,  along with a smoke print of the hand-engraved reproduction stamping die of the signature on the original rifle.  See more of Greg's work on Facebook, where he shares delightful daily videos, and on his website, CrockettLongrifle.com  Greg is currently accepting custom work, you can contact him through his website.  Links to what Greg discusses -  "Hugo Blac, the Artist" "Esther Thompson's Cabin" "LT.
