In essence this is a GPR flintlock in .50 caliber, 32" barrel, 1:60" twist for patched balls. I sold off the supplied coil spring lock in favor of the better L&R RPL05 flint lock an did the same with the stock DST for an L&R T5 DST. All this required extensive changes to the lock and DST inlets. The T5 DST need to have its rear end bobbed and drilled for the hold-down wood screw, and the front end stepped down 1/16" to accommodate the trigger guard's front end foot. As with most of these offshore "screwdriver" kits, there was some other minor mods required to get it the bbl and furniture to fit together, no big deal. The real nut was the lock and trigger work, but this ain't my first rodeo with kit guns
