Aww man……if you’d have posted that before I bought the Shenandoah from you, I’d have been rethinking my desire for a flintlock.

Rambler, I am pat right now on rifles, but I have to say you find some really nice guns and make it easy with your prices for anyone to get started, or add. Extremely fair, I should say.
If you run into a nice .50 TC Hawken barrel with a pit free bore in 1/48, or even 1/28 [if they made one], and no scope holes, I would be interested. And I would trust you to shoot straight on barrel condition. I know they are out there, but I already got burned on one and unless I am really confident in what I would be getting, I would rather pay for a reline. I am already considering that option.
Sorry to do a quick hijack like this, but you put up some very cool stuff and I always enjoy checking out your hardware.

Oh hey, I have one of these, I didn't actually know the model until now. Can I ask a couple questions?
#1. What is or is supposed to be in the round hole in the stock? Mine is empty.

#2. Can you cock yours without setting the trigger? I can't, the set trigger arm sticks up contacts the seer lever (not sure if these are the right names for the bits) unless it's set.

 

[BigSkyRambler]

Hole is for patch grease. Typical Southern Mountain feature. I have to set trigger to cock.

 

[curtludwig]

Good to know my gun is "normal" then.

So you'd just pack the hole with grease?
