Maybe I will hold off the photo until the new one comes.... Actually, I have been dealing on a new custom flintlock. I'm e-mailing back and fourth with a gun maker. I think it will be a Lancaster Rifle in .62 caliber with a 1:72 twist. I was going to get all fancy since this would be a custom job but really I intend to do some serious hunting with it for elk and moose. And all the fancy frill and custom stock only makes it that much more painful when I drop the thing climbing around or something like that.... [:@]

I've also thought about getting a Brown Bess in .75 caliber but to be honest, if it shot as well as my other smoothbores, I would not be all that impressed other then the large ball and charge it can handle...

Smoothbore rifles are a lot of fun to shoot, but they really are not all that accurate (at least mine are not) after you get back of 50 yards. This summer I am going to do a lot more shooting with the smoothbore .62 caliber and see just how far I would dare take a shot. Of course I am kind of fussy about accuracy. What might be acceptable to some is not to others. I will give it the white paper plate test. You get some of those smaller white cake paper plates and see just how far you can get back and still hit the things. I think they are about 5 inches in diameter....

If you had one of them Doghouse ground blinds, you could put a rifle rack in there and your nephews'd never know how many rifle you were usin'.
