..........Quite possibly the finest piece I have seen on this site.
 
Holy Moly! That rifle is almost to pretty to shoot! very very nice. :thumbsup: :hatsoff: . Btw, can I get picky? Ya need to line up the slots on the screws for the patchbox. :grin: .
 
:grin: :grin: I have been known to time patchbox screws sometimes,but don't do it as a rule.Jacob Earnest didn't time his either :wink: .I do time tang screw,buttpiece screws and sometimes toe plate screws.It varies from gun to gun.Timeing patchbox screws are more of a 21st century thing as opposed to a 19th century thing.When I build a rifle like this I try and make it look as if I was trained by the builder that the rifle is inspired by.In this case Earnest's pathbox screws were untimed and he had 7 knuckles on his hinge,so thats what I did.
