Sorry for your loss! Did our Grandfather build a lot of rifles? He did a nice job on this gun.Sorry I am 6 years late to the party, but I am glad my grandfather could make your first flintlock rifle. He died about 3 weeks ago.
Yes, he worked in the st louis hawken shop and also made guns independantly with friends. I made an "in memorium" thread on the gunmaker forum if you have any stories about the gun you'd like to share.Sorry for your loss! Did our Grandfather build a lot of rifles? He did a nice job on this gun.
The rifle is .54 caliber, but according to the previous owner (I purchased the gun on consignment from CS Arms in Upperville, VA) he shot competition with a .526 round ball and a .015 patch using 70 grams of 2FG.
