very nice. I really like the fusil lines. Is the wood maple? What guage is she? just wondering.

I want to set up a fusil but thought cherry would be a little more authentic. Dont know just thinking out loud.

:hatsoff:
 
the lock is a davis fusil lock. the gun was built by Anthony Palyszeski he did all the engraving on the lock as well as the barrel
 
I have`nt had much time to get out with it but,I shot a 4 inch group off hand with it at 25 yds. the front sight has to be taken down she shoots alittle high, and I have to get use to shooting flint. I`ve only had cap guns till I bought my 62 and 54 smooth bores. when I get some time I will post some pics of my 54 smooth rifle (she`s sweet) both are by the same builder

Walnut was what the originals were stocked with, there were restocks of these guns in maple but the only ones I have seen were very plain wood, plain cherry may have been used as well for restocking these guns.
 
Nice looking gun, it looks like he cleaned the lock up pretty well, most just use them as is, they can be pretty close to the originals with a little work and it realy makes a difference in the looks of the gun.
 
"the front sight has to be taken down she shoots a little high,"

Whoa there Gemoke! Better think twice about filing that front sight there friend!

Hint, Hint!!!

:thumbsup: That's a beautiful gun you have there, I'll bet there was a lot of hours went into building that one!
You may have to file those sights, but............I'd suggest that you do some more shooting first. I wouldn't start filing based on "off hand" results. Get some sand bags and find out for sure where she likes to chuck 'em, then if she still groupes them low , start filing. Just a little bit at a time; ........it's a lot easier to take metal off than it is to put it back on. :redface:
