finished the Cherry stocked flint lock

[deerstalkert]

dovetailed the sights in and installed them.
took it out and shot it 5 times at 50 yards. first two shots were finding site picture. the upper three shots were holding dead center of the bull. seems i got the sights right. my wife and best friend was lavish with her praise of this build so i gave it to her. she wants to hang it over our living room painting. may be my last build. we will see I suppose.

Cherry wood is my favorite. I built my grandfather clock in cherry. That's a beautiful rifle, and a fine shooter too.

Be sure to take it down often to go out and shoot. Georgeous! The Japanese are very reverent toward Cherry Trees, of course, and the wood is very mellow and beautiful.

That’s an exceptionally pretty hunk of cherry.
