Well the builder sent me some pictures of my finished rifle, it will be shipped tomorrow! Woohoo! It's a .50 cal Charles Burton (FCI) barrel, premium curly maple stock, L & R Durs Egg Flintlock, Davis double set trigger - Forged butt plate and forged trigger guard, poured pewter nose cap.

Very Nice ! I have the same lock on my .45 JP McCoy...love it. But you have to get small flints for those locks. Have you got a Smoothbore ??

Beautiful. If you don’t mind my asking, what was the cost? How long from order to delivery?

Thanks Guys - Nessmuck - yes I have a smoothbore. Hunter4623 will answer through PM - I provided the barrel so that would be what sometimes can delay a build - that and lock availability. Prices on all the components have gone up significantly in the past two years.

Thought I was a good bowhunter until I targeted mature bucks....

Well - I have the .40 caliber Woodbury flintlock and the .62/20 gauge smoothbore flinter. One percussion .50 caliber Hawken style that is very accurate.
