Hey Mike, what finish did to use on the stock and barrel? Is the lock plate just polished? I like what you did!

I used iron nitrate and permalyn sealer on the stock and rubbed it back with white synthetic steel wool to knock the shine down, i used jax black on all the metal except the lock which i left as is and rubbed the barrel and other metal parts with grey synthetic steel wool to give it a grey look. Thank You

My .45 SMR likes .440 RBs with a .015 patch.

I love seeing a 5 shot group like that from a flintlock. Great shooting rifle and great shooting on your part as well. Thanks for posting.

That’s what I would expect to be the best combination, and would I would hope for if I had a 45…. Every gun likes what it likes, but you got lucky.
