    Yes it felt smooth and looks pretty good. My main concern was in the breech area.

    This is my first post on this forum. I have never shot a flintlock and am just now beginning to familiarize myself with them. I am in the process of trading an in-line for a T/C .50 Hawken flintlock. From what I can tell the rifle is in good shape. I do not have a bore light but from looking...
