    Anyone know what this is?

    Thank you all for your reply. I noticed I put this in the wrong forum and I apologize for that. I don't know how to move it to the Flintlock forum. It is a very interesting gun for sure.

    Thanks! I did order the Fancy grade of wood I believe. It was the first upgrade. I like the look of it. If I had more experience with the iron nitrate and maple I probably could have brought the curl out a little more.

    I final got everything put together today. I am very happy with the way everything turned out. It was my first build so I did make some mistakes but it guess it just makes it mine.

    Thanks for the support everyone! I got the barrel and lock blued today, I will add pics tomorrow. Everything is just waiting on the coats of tried and true to dry so I can get it assembled. I am already thinking of the next one.
