Very nice work,but i believe that you put the lock on the wrong side.

 

[Caleb4570]

I did. Couldn’t believe it myself

Did you do the carving and engraving ? That is a very nice looking flintlock!
I wish that i had your skills.

The Bear ain't gonna know it's on the wrong side, But it will take a little getting use to when shooting it. If you run into a Lefty it just might be the gun of his dreams....Good Luck......Be Safe>>>>>>>>>>>Wally

How can you tell if the bear is left handed though?

 

[EC121]

I'll take it!! Nice.

 

[JEBMs]

A very handsome and functional looking rifle

 

[BoomStick]

Nicely done!

The second before he swipes your face with his paw, note which one he leads with.

Nope. It is on the correct side.

Well it's a real beauty and much too fine a rifle to subject to the adversities of nature. OTOH any bear would be proud to be shot with such a gorgeous rifle.

Assuming, of course, it is a cultured older bear with sensibilities, unlike a new age bear with tats, piercings and a tik tok account.

A very fine piece of work and a damn good job.

[Phil Coffins]

Well, there is that.
