Good morning:
I posted awhile back on the percussion section about looking for a nice, light rifle to tote around as now that I am older, it is a beast lugging my .54 caliber Hawken around. It is not very well suited for stump sitting either (for me, anyways). Anyway, I thought about looking for a nice T/C Seneca, but being left handed, I wanted another left-hand gun. I looked at the GPR as well, but not much lighter than my Hawken. I found a nice, near new Lyman Deerstalker flintlock. It handles slick, and I like the shorter barrel for those days just sitting at the base of a tree. Looks like an older one, before they put the fiber optic sights on and such.
Has anyone dressed theirs up a bit? I'm thinking of browning the barrel and furniture, and maybe re-doing the stock in a more traditional finish. Also, can you remove all the "idiot warnings" and such from the barrel without screwing it up?
Thanks.
