    Restoration work on an Older Build

    Just my 2 cent, I have Hershel House dvd's and swear he can build a muzzleloader from a hunk of pig iron and a tree in his sleep... One things he stressed about the originals was that they weren't perfect for the most part they were built by gunsmiths and apprentices not always master wood...
