Default A .58 flintlock

Since shooting my .58 percussion GM barrel and liking how well it shoots and also being a fan of big bores I've been contemplating getting a flinter in .58. I was thinking of getting a long rifle made but was wondering where I could come up with and extra $1000+. So last night while rummaging through my odds and ends I came across a T/C Hawken and T/C Renegade stock with all the hardware! Eureka. this morning I put a call in to Bob Hoyt and told him I'd be sending him the Renegade stock and a set of sights and he is going to make me a .58. Its going to be 32" long 1" across the flats and have a 1:70 twist which I've researched and found to be about the best twist for shooting PRBs. He will also be installing an underrib and ramrod thimbles.
Bob is pretty busy right now but I know he will have for me soon enough.
