I actually got out and worked on the fowler this morning. finished inletting the lock. After that was put to bed I started cleaning up the butt plate.
got the rough edges knocked down and started to sand the thing. Have I ever mentioned that i detest metal polishing? decided that was enough achievement for the day and got out my birch stocked .54 flinter.
Fed it 60g of fffg garnished with a .018 bear fat lubed patch and a .530 ball.
It coughed up a 10 shot chorus of notes on my 6x8 gong at 50 yards.
this rifle is the one I refer to as the ugly duckling. It was an attempt at a full stock flintlock Hawken.
It shoots amazingly. so well i don't use double grocery bags to hide it anymore!
