My working man's flinter.

All steel, took me less than two months to make.

Gonna take a life time to shoot

Oh I love the plain Jane workhorses. They don't shine, they don't brag, they just stick to business and and get the job done.
Walnut huh? Is the furniture browned or blued? It's hard to tell in the photo. What caliber? I see you like your rear sight way out there, as do I.
Nice rifle. I'll bet you "made" a friend for life. Bill

I still want to build me a long rifle kit from TOTW. Something which will be unique here in SA. :winking:

Very nice - I like the plain working guns too - with all this talent abounding on the board it is a wonder any muzzleloading gunsmith makes any money. :thumbsup:

Unless you are like me - all thumbs - but I can train hunting dogs. :hmm:

She did the inleting for the lock, trigger, and swamped barrel. A master craftsman job on all.

I see you like your rear sight way out there, as do I.

The best part about making your own rifle is you get the sighting picture you need.

Ive never held a rifle more balanced, with clearer sights. But then I used my eyes to set the rear buckhorns
