Well you did a good job! Its a fine looking rifle.
( And we know that new fangled percussion system won't catch on ! )

Like my friend Old Beaver said, if God had intended us to use percussion caps, He'd have littered the creek bottoms with 'em.

I love the maker's mark on that flinter!

Thanks ... It is a cool looking mark... a Bumble bee within a circle.
The gun is a George Laloux ... His company made guns from 1834-1920.
My gun is a 20 gauge smooth bore Fowler ... I'm thinking it was made around 1900.
It still shoots and I use it for claybirds and grouse mostly.
