I have a. 54 caliber. The rifle is one of my favorite Flintlock. It has an excellent trigger, a fast lock, and the rifle shoots round ball and 405 grain powerbelts very well.

I have a caplock 54. Great shooter, but the lock's half**** sets very low. It requires special care when capping. I hear this is typical.

Handles and carries very well. The stock can be a little bold at your cheek, especially shooting heavy conical loads from the bench.
