OMG.... a full-stock with a 39" barrel. You might have Blue Jays landing on it as you are about to shoot....

Good luck finding a case for it....lol

Not a problem. At least a dozen places carry nice fringed leather or indian wool cases.

I forgot you're in Pennsylvania. I may see a longrifle in Michigan's woods or State-run gun range once every 5-6 years. A flintlock hunter?.... spotted once since 1990. The traditional guns never seemed to catch-on in this state, so supplies and gun cases for the longens' are nowhere to be found here.

Use a set trigger set at 2oz. There's no pulling it twice.

Not all flinters have two triggers.

Remington 700ML SS .54 cal

I bought it so I could strip it down and build a smokeless muzzleloader for long range hunting.

Shot a buck at 304yds couple of weeks ago

My first one was a T/C Hawkins kit as a Christmas gift.

My latest is a 50cal Remington 700 because I like Remington 700 Rifles.
