I finally finished my first black powder build. It took me some time but since the Covid had me quarantined, all I had was time. It was a fun build. Can't wait to bust some caps.

Yep, the ramp on these guns goes to the front.
@bigdaddy0442
The front sight is reversed. That said, tell us more about the pistol build. I assume it's a kit, maybe a Traditions? Oh and more pics please! We like pics!

Looks like you did a nice job. You will find these to be very accurate once you find the right load. If .50 cal. like mine 25 grains 2f with a .490 ball does the trick.

Fixed the Front Sight
That is a great looking pistol. Nice job. 
you will get a better sight picture looking at the flat face of the sight than seeing the whole ramp. think of all the light reflecting off of that ramp in the sun

Very nice, you have some great looking wood on that pistol. I have a rock lock kit and a factory cap lock just like that in .50 caliber. You might want to check the rear lock screws, on both of mine they rubbed on the inside of the hammer when cocked. Also the tang screws on both of mine were a little long and pushed on the inside front of the trigger guard. Have fun they are a blast to shoot. Mine like 25 grains 3F with a .490 patched round ball out to 25 yards.
