Can a "Commercial" Muzzle loader Maker Build an "Attractive" Rifle?
Please notice that I didn't say a historically accurate rifle, but an "attractive" rifle.
I have put up some photos of this rifle before, but have taken some new pictures of it.
It is a Thompson Center Cougar in 50 cal. It was sitting in a corner of a pawn shop, pretty but forlorn. No one had shown any interest in it, so the pawn shop was willing to deal to get it off their hands.
Some cleaning, a little protectant on the metal parts, a check and some oil in the bore, a touch of Renaissance Wax, and voila (walla? viola? oila?) there stood a very nice rifle.
I would have preferred a normal patch box to the silly cougar emblem, but I am pleased with the rifle anyway.
