Early Virginia Longrifle

This is an early virginia longrifle that I built last year. It has 45 caliber GM barrel, Siler Flintlock, L&R triggers and S.P curley maple stock. I built it for the purpose of shooting inthe monthly competition at our local gun club.

That is beautiful. How does it shoot and what load does it like?

Mighty pretty from what I can see Mr. Flintlock. How about a few close ups. What's the barrel length?

RE: Early Virginia Longrifle

The barrel length is 42 inches. At 25 and 50 yards I shoot 60gr of goex 3f and at the 100 yard target I up the charge to 70 gr. The Green Mountain barrel has a 1:60 twist. It is very accurate. I will work on getting out some better pictures.
