finished the rifle

[Kentuckywindage]

finally got this all done. I am still in the process of putting more coats of original oil finish onto the stock. I put one coat, rub it in and then let it sit over night. Its still coating up after 7 coats so i figure i may as well just let it take it on slowly.

I used 7 coats of birchwood casey rusty walnut. I really love how the colors came out. The oil finish darkened it a little too.

Sharp looking gun

Very nice...I have one of them also. I modified mine from the original kit a little. They are really great shooters as well.

Looks like a nice job, you should get a lot of good use from that nice looking piece.

out of the 3 or 4 flinters ive owned, this one will never be sold. I really like this flinter.

Nice job of finishing and I like the color. Will you be putting the tacks back in or leave it as is?

 

[Kentuckywindage]

Nice job.

Jealous..

Made that same rifle in 45 back in 77. Going to make another oneday.

Did not look as good as yours.

speaking of .45 i just noticed last night that traditions now offers these in 45!! the possibles shop has them listed for a fair price.

She shoots center :haha: This was my first flintlock deer ( currently my only with a flinter! )
My best group is 1 1/2" and the rifle shoots an average of 2" groups @ 100 yards with 110gr 3f goex. It kicks like a mule but i always go for the tightest groups possible.
