Thanks Ryan, I posted pictures of my finished rifle on the thread you started. Looks like yours is coming along fine also! Keep up the good work!

How do you go about making your own powder? Do you ever sell it?

I picked up an unmade Lyman Great Plains kit a few years ago and finally put it together two years ago. It is a great kit but waaaay too much wood. As you wrote, foolish cheek piece, took lots of wood off. The finished gun, however, is sweet. Enjoy! Polecat
For those who use substitute powders, a flintlock is not a good choice as the substitutes are hard to light off in a flintlock. Percussion guns usually handle substitutes OK, although I never use substitutes in any of my muzzleloaders, especially Pyrodex.
