Southern Mountain 40 Cal completed

That is a beautiful rifle, very well done. Man! You were on fire with your shooting. I see nothing else you could have done to make it "mo bettah". Oh, and I've seen originals with rather large lock panels.

Yes Sir! Lots of builders "Dainty them up" too much for me. To each their own.

Thanks to all for your compliments. It's great when a rifle comes together better than expected!

Its great finally getting the 40 Flinter done. Colerain swamped barrel, Zornes Lock, curly wood, and Iron mouldings from various suppliers.

With 40 grains FFFg, Pillow ticking and a .390 ball, this bad boy shoots like a laser beam. The enclosed target pics are from 25 and 50 yards.

A little sight drifting brought it right where it needs to be. I tried charges from 35 to 70 grains with very similar results. The barrel just didn't seem to care what the charge was, which is very comforting.

Headhunter builds some nice rifles. I got to meet him up at the Southeast Rendezvous in NC and check out several of the rifles he had on display.
