Forged trigger guard
Forged butt plate
L&R Manton lock (slightly reshaped)
Handmade thimbles
Tapered ramrod

When drilling the ramrod hole, the bit got a little close so a handmade wear plate was installed. Fit and finish overall is really good. Is that the picture at the end of the barrel at the ram rod channel?

That’s a picture of the wear plate used to reinforce that area. Quite a few originals required it…usually able to get that part right but sometimes the bit wanders so priced to reflect.

Goat - would it be possible to get a picture of the muzzle (to see the rifling profile) and do you know the twist rate? Thanks, NE

Picture added and 1:66” roundball twist.

Thank you.

It looks like one of the pins attaching the barrel to the fore end was improperly drilled and then filled in?

Just on the metal. Happens sometimes with a completely handmade gun.
