I think those patch boxes are a bit gawdy(just an opinion).

I like the wider and taller butt stock on the Early Lancaster style stock. and I also like the fact that there is no crescent in the butt plate. It really is a shooters rifle, not so much a looker, but a shooter!! But I still think it is also going to be a looker(I hope)!!

Should be a really nice rifle. I have been wanting a custom flinter for over 30 years. So it is on the way. Tom.
