I just finished this build today. I will fine tune the screws etc.. if a few days. It is a very good piece of Sugar Maple, a 32" long 50 caliber Green Mountain barrel, a single trigger with a Kibler SMR lock. I call this style my Lafayette rifle and it is based loosely off of some Swiss flintlock match/hunting rifles.

I got to shoot it a little the last two days and I am very happy. It has a preference for a little lighter load than I expected. It likes 55 grains of Goex FFFg and I was expecting 65 would be the sweet spot. The balance is good so far.
