I can't afford this. If I could I would ask for some close ups of the rifle showing finish and carving in better detail. Wish I could, looks really sweet.

Outstanding!!!

Very Nice.

Is that a crack(right by the sear screw) on the hammer or was the lock left unpolished? Could be a crack or maybe a mold wrinkle.

The lock has been left unpolished....no crack....

In the stock, the patch box side, and on the forestock. What are those squiggly lines? They almost look like an inchworm crawled across it?

Very nice finish. Beautiful wood,

Not a very good job finishing this rifle. Back to the drawing board. Semper Fi

What is wrong with the finish on the rifle?

 

[Thunderbug]

Why? False compliments will only have the builder continue to do sub-par work. Honesty will help him improve himself. Semper Fi.

If he was talking to me, I would like to know if there is something wrong with it.

I don't know.....I guess it is how the sun light was hitting it?

It's not an opinion until its asked for. So who really cares about the rude, BS comment? Water off a ducks back is my advice, Mr. Bug.

Thank you Sir. It does not bother me and I believe people were honestly giving feedback with the best of intentions. Personally, I believe it looks great. Thank you for your encouragement.

There are much better ways to give feedback. Telling the truth is easy. But, it doesn't need an edge behind it or a puke emoji.

You can call a spade a spade without calling it a darned old shovel?

Beautiful. Love the color and design. Question: how come in all the kit long guns, the ramrod looks like a normal piece of wood, maybe stained, but no where close to the beauty of the long gun. Just curious.

Ramrods are often hickory, which only takes so much finish and usually has very straight, uniform grain.

Gotcha. Thank you!

those are just slash grain. maple has many things going on in its growth.

I did stain it, but I just couldn't get it as dark as the gun..
..I imagine you could but it would take something other than iron nitrate
