Judging by the size of the holes, if you hit it you will drop it. I can't see anything to not like about it.

Nice Halftail, good luck with it. :thumbsup:
Yes,
It's a 62 and should put plenty of Whumpum into any good sized Deer.
That gun was built by a local builder that has been building muzzleloaders for years.He is getting on" in years and I had the chance to get one of his,so I did.I've read that that type of wood wasen't used in the building of that style gun but it does make for a nice lookin gun though.

looks OK from what I can see of it. what really matters though is them 3 holes touching in the sighting dot.

Guns saw a hard life, and breakage wouldn't be out of the question. There is always the possibility that it may have been re-stocked in the colonies by a local gunsmith who just happened to have some maple on hand. It isn't unheard of........Halftail said:

It is likely that the majority of existing French Fusils from Tulle or any of the other armories have been restocked, those done in maple were likely done in rather plain wood rather than the high grade curly type.
