My other hobbie

[boogaloo]

Here is a shot of me enjoying my Winter hobby. I like to build and/or restore "traditional" muzzle loading rifles. This one is a .54 cal. Lancaster flintlock with a 44 inch swamped barrel and curly maple stock.

My brother made these this past summer. He's been doing this for the past 40 years.

LOL Yes they are. I use lipstick to color metal parts when inletting to the stock. I then remove any wood with color on it............Daniel
