I really like that rifle; very nice.  I would prefer to stay with a single trigger since that's what it was originally built with.  A new trigger should fix it right up.

Rod, you do have some great looking Muzzleloaders.
Every single one you have shown us is nothing short of eye candy.
And that is as it should be.

Ugly Muzzle loaders just ain't as much fun, certainly not as much fun as those elegant guns you have.

Sure hope you're doing better health wise.  :lt th

Rob, The trigger may just be too tall not allowing the sear to completely engage in the full cock slot on the tumbler. This is not a safe condition IMHO. Check it for "slop". It needs some, not a lot but some.

thanx for all the help with this "work of art", folks.  i was smitten by its beauty, for sure.  haven't shot it yet, but the more i think about it was too much of an "impulse buy" and i'm more of a plain jane gun guy of .50's and above.  time to move it to the trading blanket and take a good hit on the price.  oh well.
