Not a bad looking rifle 54. But you know you do have another option for your sidelocks. You can have Bob Hoyt rebore and rifle a barrel for you. You can even send him a barrel with a rusted bore and have him bore it out and reline it to the rifling of your choice. And another option is to have him make an entire barrel from scratch. I had a .58 flintlock barrel made by him and boy can that thing shoot. Its right up there with my GM barrel if not better.
