NICE!  It looks like the barrel is already blued?  Have fun putting that together.  :hairy

No, not blued - if it was I wouldn't have bought it.  I like to leave bbls in-the-white as was mostly done back in the day, to patina on their own.

It'll be an interesting build and will compare that to the Colonial .54 build I did a few years ago.  I ordered extra fancy tiger maple, too, just like with the Colonial.  It will get aqua fortis (iron nitrate) stained and Tru-Oil clear coated.  I'll add pics and comments to this thread as the build progresses.  First step is to build it in-the-white for fit, then taken apart and finish it.

Hey Winter Hawk that blued barrel was the first thing I noticed in that box.
