Great job!

That's a nice looking piece of maple. Enough curl to look nice, but not drive you nuts.

Great looking Flinter! A really nice looking rifle. Let us know how it shoots. Good job!

One of the prettiest looking half stock rifles I’ve seen! Very nice, hope it brings you some luck out in the field

Ding, ding, ding and the most observant prize goes to Pete G!
Very clever of the builder to restart...

I don't need a 36cal because I already have a 40cal tennessee..........hmmmm..........I don't have a half stock though.
Beautiful gun, you must be proud.

I recently traded a half-stock southern rifle that I had built and I'm actually thinking about replacing it. I just purchased a nice piece of curly ash that should work and I'm thinking about a half-stock TN. Can you post photos or describe the staples that you pinned the underrib to? I presume you pin them into the barrel rather than installing with dovetails? Love your rifle by the way, very well done. I also like the slightly longer forestock and the poured pewter cap and will likely do something similar there as well.

Yes, I am curious as well. TIA.

I used the solid underlug staples and staking tool from Track of the Wolf. I soldered them as well.

I also used their double punch to spot the barrel before drilling for the staples. These are Track's part numbers, staple - UL-104-C, punch - TOOL-105-P and staking tool, TOOL-105-S.
