Nope.  But you made me look, anyway.

Now you see one of the reasons I don't shoot the postals. :Doh!

The rifle looks quite good, IMO.  Did you have any trouble with the flint lock on the rifle?  I prefer flint and that's what I shoot but I still have three percussions I really like.  Good shooting!  :bl th up

No, the lock works just fine, although it is a little harsh on flint wear.  It seems to be hitting a little bit square on.  I guess one could tweek the angle of the cock downward just a bit, but it would still be a flintlock.  And I really don't care for  flinters.  And that's just me.  I have sure tried to change my mind over the years, but that never really worked.
