Juniata,
Looks like you’ve been hanging out with Al Martin.!

I listen to what he tells me that's a fact.

Al is a great inspiration and mentor to many.

It looks great! It's a lot more fun to build to your own ideas. What caliber is it? I'm in the final stages of building something similar in 58 caliber. It will definitely be a smooth rifle based sort of on the early Lancaster. In my imagination it started out in the 1700's as a flintlock but was later converted to a more modern ignition system. I'm sure to be accused of blasphemy but so be it. I'll post a picture in a week or two when I get it put back together. The amazing thing is I soldered on a front sight and just drove the rear sight in to where it looked centered. I fired 7 shots with 3 different ball loads and they were all perfectly centered and about 2" high at 25 yards in a 2 1/2" group. Sometimes we just get lucky.

That's awesome, that's how this one was, it shot about dead nuts when I shot it in the white.
It's a .62
