I am amazed, I got mine about 6 weeks ago, I could have already finished but I'm taking my time and I figure the barrel will brown easier after the 4th (I live in North Carolina)...I built a .54 back in the '80s...It has a 38 inch Rayle barrel, is a great shooter, have killed plenty of deer with it but...It weighs 10 pounds...The local guy that provided the "kit" didn't want to inlet a swamped barrel, so the barrel is 1 1/16 at the breach and tapers to 15/16...Steady as all get out but, when I put the WoodsRunner together to check the balance, I was amazed...This is my first flintlock with a swamped barrel, sliding wood patchbox and a single trigger....My other one is basically a Southern Mountain rifle with a 13/16 barrel, 42 inches long and .40 caliber...
 
I've had mine (Woodsrunner) for several weeks now. Unfortunately medical issues are limiting me to an extended period of just fondling.
 
Jason you’re old at 50? Damn now I feel real old at 61. What keeps me young is I’m shootings for my Grandma's age, she lived till 105 and a half!!! That makes you and me Babies! Nice rifle and thanks for the offer but I’m way down here in Florida dreaming of a Kibler SMR .45. One day for sure!
 
I’m sighting mine in again, using a smaller charge. Trying to conserve powder. 60grains for a .50 cal. Just used the last of my Swiss 2F. Switching to some Goex I’ve had for a while. So far, it’s doing pretty well at 50 yards.
 
TDM your gonna love it! I also have the .54. I shoot .520's with a Denim patch
 
Target shooting in a parking lot? No cops came? :thumb:

I have to get out of California! I am searching for a place. A good friend is moving to Lancaster County. I'll have to visit and check it out.
