It has lines similar to an 1803 Harpers Ferry to me. Sorta a fancy version... :thumbsup:

Very beautiful. I like your wood choice, and your carving is second to none! It has clean lines, and looks sleek. Some one asked you what the calibre is.
You are an artist.
I like the walnut, I may have to do one in that wood.

Nice work!I I like the simple lines. One question for you. What is the size of the touch hole? It looks big to me.

 

[raszpla]

(What is the size of the touch hole?)-I do not understand this sentence

 

[raszpla]

kaliber (cal) 45

the diameter of the vent hole where the priming flames thru to ignite the main charge.

BTW very nice work! :thumbsup:

Hey Raszpla,
You make fine rifles! You should be proud.
I like your choice of wood, your carving is great.
Your style has a european touch, then again most early American rifles had european influences.
Excellent work!

If the diameter of the vent hole itself is under 5/64" and the gun workd do not be in a hirry to use a smaler hole most of todays guns have smaller holes than were used on originals and SOME suffer for it, there is a current trend to open up the holes a bit the last few years and it seems to be gaining momentum, but one needs to do many other things in the way of testing the various factors related to ignition before diving into a gun with a drill at the vent hole. It seems to me that you have a natural gift for this craft and will easily gain in ability and quality/appearance and authentic looking aspects of ML gun building :hatsoff:
