Started My Retirement Flintlock Rifle Build This Morning

I appreciate that Rondo.

The rifle is finally finished. What started back on April 28, 2019 has come to a completion. Actually this has been in the works for a long time, letting wood dry, collecting parts, finding the time. Here it is, along with a nice home I received from Rondo  some months back (many thanks my friend);





Looks like a trapper's rifle to me.

I opted for brass washers instead of a side plate for the lock screws... The side plate seemed a bit of over kill for a trappers rifle IMHO.

It was a fun build!

Very nice looking rifle! I like the washers better than a plate myself.

Thank you Spotted Bull. I'm looking forward to getting out to the Range with it, hopefully this coming Monday.
