I have just finished building this flintlock pistol today. Siler lock, GM barrel, Pecatonica stock and various parts from MBS.
I found a small surface stress crack (or maybe I over-wet it raising the grain?) on the side panel after dying the wood. I was so upset. Nothing takes the wind out of my sales than stuff like this.
I wanted to test fire it out but we're getting rain storms passing through again (got some sprinkles while taking these pictures). Hopefully tomorrow I will have a better opportunity.
