Nothing short of a work of art!!!!

I have 3 GPRs.... two in .54 and a .50... all flintlocks. In the .54s, I use 80gr of Swiss fffg and .018 pillow ticking and the .50 likes 60 gr of the same.

Looks like you're well on your way! Good shooting!

Thats good to hear! I surely DO love the look of cherry... Thanks for your input!

I've read that it has a tendency to be a real bear to work with.

I love the look of cherry, but some posts have scared me enough not to try a rifle project with it. You did a FINE job with it!

. 440 ball and 50 gr of Swiss. No complaints here!

Oof, I said hammer spring. I meant main spring! My apologies! Rodd

Welcome from Missouri! My 1851 would jam up when I'd try to thumb back the hammer.... I would have to let the hammer back down and thumb it back a second time almost every time. All I had to do was adjust the hammer spring under the grip a little bit. Now it works as it should. Good luck...

I get my powder from Graf and sons out of Mexico, Missouri. There's other vendors that normally stock it, but I've had no trouble getting it from Graf. They have an "email me when back in stock" option. Good luck, shoot straight and God bless, Rodd

You done good! Thanks for showing it off!

The movie "The edge" with Anthony Hopkins, Alec Baldwin and BIG bear addressed the same ritual....

No,I did not build it. Got it from a fellow member from Georgia.

.440 round ball and green mountain barrel. Its won 1 match and a 3rd place finish. Nothing wrong with a .45!

Looks like a good start
