    Investarms

    The shaping and inleting were terrible. I have to shim the tang forward inorder to line up the nipple with the hammer. I think I will open up the stock and make a brass shim that wraps the tang to move it forward. Otherwise I like it. The rifle is as accurate as my other muzzleloaders shooting...

    Investarms

    Woodworking is one of my hobbies. Beechwood blotches bad walnut doesn't. I put three coats of sanding sealer on the stock it still botched like pine. I wonder if the distributor did a cut and paste of the specs.

    Investarms

    I must have got a lemon. The spec sheet called out european wallnut I got beechwood. The lock was 1/8" too far forward. The wedge was missing and the replacement fell out. If you buy one check it over real good.

    Left handed flintlock question

    What he said. I am right handed and left eye dominate. Shooting a handgun with the non dominante hand is challenging. But a rifle you are not trying hard enough. I have both left and right handed rifles no problem switching back and forth.

    Help with cast bullet sizing

    Sizing at .501 the resistance will be very slight. At .499 it will drop with no resistance. The closer to .512 the more resistance.

    Help with cast bullet sizing

    You want the lands to imbed them selves into the bullet. I would size close to .512. The lands will displace some mat. So a couple thousands smaller than .512 should be OK.
