Early Plains Flintlock Rifle build
Hawkdancer:
That is looking very good! A fine rifle, Congratulations! When you get to he range, remember it may take quite a few shots to settle in and find it's groove! Keep yer powder dry and yer flints sharp!
Mike,
I think you would like the .58 in a flintlock. It packs a wallop with a round ball on top of 120 gr 2F! It is also fun with a 30-35 gr target load, it does use a lot of lead, though >:D!

Considering the meticulous craftsmanship you have exhibited for years, I am less than convinced this was luck.
Gordon:
Cut the dovetail and installed the rear sight. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.
Gordon:
I finished the rifle. Tomorrow I will shoot it for the first time and begin the process of sighting it in. I hope you enjoy the photos.
Pat B:
Very nice Gordon. Looking forward to the hero shot with your quarry. :OK
