Since it would be a little tricky to position the butt stock over the muzzle to use the PRB thingy like a loading block, I guess the PRB is just plucked out when needed?

Never saw that before...curious if this was just a fun idea or if there's some historical relevance...I've seen 'grease holes' bored into the side of butt stocks but not a "ball hole"...if it wallows out and the ball won't stay put, a patchbox could be added in its place?

Anyhow, any new Flintlock build is always interesting...even if the lock IS on the wrong side.
:hatsoff:

Its more of a southern thing, I have only seen a few with it. The patch is just where you can pluck out the ball.. This gun does not represent anything lol just a cool gun. :v

Nice looking rifle; congrats to both the builder and the owner. :thumbsup:
When I first saw the "round ball hole"............I thought oh..oh.. R/C has entered jethro's post shoot and couldn't find a 2X4 so he used one of his rifles for a target. :wink:

Nice RC & Roy! Nice no frills rifle with great architecture. Who came up with the PRB hole and how much does that one weigh? Bet not much. :hatsoff:

Very Nice...Love it... :thumbsup:

Not meaning to highjack your thread. Just before Xmas I received my Lehigh Po-Boy from Roy, must of been just ahead of you... :blah:
It was a busy time and I never got around to posting pics so I figured this was a great opportunity and guess what...The lock is on the correct side same as yours brother... :thumbsup: :grin:
Haven't shot it yet being the weather up here has been nasty cold, haven't had temps like these in about 30 years they say. On a good note the temps are on the rise and I may just get a chance this weekend. Any way Roy is the best and here are a few pics. Oh yea some specs. Coned .54 swamped Rice barrel, Siler lock, maple stock.
