Ok, my picture skills ain't very good either.....

IT"S DONE!!!! Shoots fast and straight! We spent the 4th of July acting like our forefather 237 years ago and shot our flintlocks. I'm thrilled with my new gun!

Thanks Supercracker!!

blackpowderscout,
We had no doubts about how it would look and I hope it shot as well as it looks! Had you been in the Panhandle, you would have had to work hard keep your powder dry on this 4th of July! :flag

It sure does! Supercracker did a great job. We beat the rain here but it's coming down good now.

Shoots good! Still shooting a bit high, but I need a smaller ball and we didn't go to filing the rear sight too much considering it'll probably shoot a little different with the new load. But it groups good at 25yds and 50 yds as you can see. Excuse the flier, that was a mistake on my part.

Man, that's a nice looking rifle BPS. Looks like that new knife you got will match up good with it. Great job. Very impressive group.

Yeah, but I'm not going to polish it. Won't take too long and she'll look real nice.
