Wow! Looks great.

Absolutely gorgeous Rootsy. I salute your skill.

Beautiful gun,,I've never done one from scratch,,but my 1st muzzerloader was a TC Kit I put together,,it was fun, I need to ask my older wiser brother how to make one like this,,he has a beautiful one he made.

On top of being able to use hand tools and how to sharpen them there are a couple of very good books available that step you completely through the process... Even if you have a few under your belt you will find yourself browsing these references unless you build one right after another day in and day out.

That's a beautiful rifle. If I ever own anything like that, it will probably ruin my marriage. I would want my wife to sleep on the couch so I could cuddle my ML! :D
