You did an awesome job building that gun! I particularly like the finish on the stock and the wood grain.
Great job!
50 cal. is a good choice in that it seems to be the industry's new standard. You can usually find 50 cal. projectiles and accessories at many sporting goods stores that sell muzzle loader supplies.
You're right Pete. I got an elk at 147 yards with a .50 PRB a couple years ago. It didn't go 10'. Apparently they got some Commiefornia Snowflake running the CPW division now! .50 to .54 doesn't even make sense! Stay well Pete.It used to be a good choice but now it's too small for elk in Colorado if you use a PRB.

you're very meticulous in regards to fine detail :thumbs up: .......maybe you should consider building a period piece...like a J Henry trade rifle.
First Birchwood Casey's instant blue. Then put the parts in Clorox bleach for 10 to 20 minutes. Remove, scrub with baking soda to neutralize, then buff back to where I wanted it with Scotch Brite gray pad. The blue and the Clorox causes a chemical reaction which etches the metal and leaves the etch dark.
