You say you went with the longer version? I went with the CHEAPER version. I haven't shot her yet. I might try to get to the range on Tuesday. If I go I'll be sure to post the results. I need to refinish the stock. I'm afraid I'll mess it up though. All in all, not too bad for a total investment of $160.00. And I still have the .54 cal. barrel to play with.
Wow that's what mine will look like lol. way to go nice looking rifle and the price was right also.i built mine from a kit and i stained it and linseed oiled the stock,never had a problem with the elements.no need to mess with refinishing the stock it looks great! let us know how it shoots! Ray
I would only make sure all the metal is clean and protected. The stock looks fine and any battle scars or aging give it some character IMO. Plus if you spend a bunch of time refinishing the stock you might get a bit over protective with it.
You have a shooter...enjoy it.

I'm sure that's what I'll end up doing. After all, it is meant for hunting, not hanging on a wall.
