Shoots great, especially after I put a taller rear sight on it. It's a very good fit for me, just swings up nicely.

I'm leaning towards a stock that's not engraved since this would be a hunting rifle for the dedicated PA flintlock season.

I’m not sure why or how an ‘engraved’ (aka carved) stock would be detrimental to a dedicated hunting rifle. Get what you want and like, then use it, unless your plan is to save them for future generations to sell at a pawn shop, or you just want to have some guns for ‘looking at’ and other guns for ‘hunting’ and shooting, though an expensive option. Personally gave up on separating any reproduction guns in use or collect types categories years ago. Why? And I have actually hunted with original guns, only retiring original guns to the ‘looking at’ category if they had functional issues, though none of mine are what one would confuse with high end museum grade guns.

One more time. Get what you like and want.

I really like my Cherry stock kibler colonial smoothbore. No dye just plain oil finish and natural sun. i think you would be very pleased with a cherry Woodsrunner.

This is mine, it's a medium grade maple with aqua fortes stain and than I added some color using aniline dyes, red and oak brown. I finished it with Chambers Original Oil.

That rifle is stunning!!
