Nice rifle, you are a talented man putting one together from non-mfgr. parts. Read your range report and all I can contribute is (stick with it you have a fine rifle and I know you will pull off the training wheels soon. Wishing you success.

I appreciate your kind words.
I hope to get back to the range sometime soon. Lord willing, that rifle will make it to the deer woods in October.

I'm in Antlers. Kind of a transplant here from New England.
My son, step daughter and little granddaughter live in the DWF area.
My wife and I retired 3 years ago and moved out here to be closer to the kids.
We love this part of the state. Mountains just north of town.
Great deer hunting. Did I mention deer hunting.

I'm already thinking about selling off a few of my percussion rifles to buy another flintlock. I like that Hawkin Woodsman.

I order my powder from Graf. I also have a couple of Traditions Deerhunter rifles, percussion.
Those are no frills woods guns.
Light weight, easy to tote around the woods. Very accurate shooters.
