Lock, stock, barrel and tang too

[Joe Yanta]

Well after what seemed like an eternity I finally received my stock from TOTW. :grin:

I already had my sight dovetails filed, barrel and tang fitted and draw filed.

It only took a couple of evenings to inlet the tang, barrel and lock into the stock.

This is an early Hawken full stock flint lock in 54 caliber. It has a double throat hammer.

It is nice to be working on it again.
