I hope so Jake. That is if I can get out. I plan on taking the grandson out on Monday. But right now my foot is going into spasms and I can't sleep. And if that wasn't bad enough, last night I really stubbed my toe - the one that was operated on last month - so bad that it took a chunk of skin about 1/2" long and 1/8" wide off it. Good thing none of the kids were around because I let out a string of superlatives that I didn't even thought I knew and would make a sailor cringe...

BTW - the first time out if you recall, this rifle was giving me a bit of a fit with the ignition. As I surmised the flash hole wasn't perfectly in line with the center of the pan and I moved everything forward about 1/8" or so and bedded the tang and barrel. This outing I only had one failure and that was because I got insufficient spark when the corner of the flint broke off. I'm really happy with this set up and plan on using it AND the Perdersoli Frontier rifle in .50 cal. I have 3 tags that I can fill if I get the opportunity(s).
