Cody,
Very nice flintlock gun! Did you do the locks yourself? How about the trigger guard? Do you do these just for yourself? Do you ever do percussion shotguns?

Thanks Pete. On this one, I used L&R late english locks and did a fair bit of cutting and welding to try to get them more in line with proper english locks. On this new one, I got lockplate, cock and frizzen castings from Peter Dyson and am just making the guts myself. On the one pictured, the locks and barrels are the only things I didn't make. The trigger group, butt plate breech plugs, standing breech and all the screws etc I made. This new one will be the same except I'm making most of the lock parts as well. I only build these for myself and have never made a percussion gun.

Does posting require webspace? I don't have any that I know of. Wish I knew how to post.

LG:
I've posted so many pix of garden variety guns which are the love of my life and a big HoHum to the big dogs. After shooting Millbrook with a guy with a pair of A&S hammer self-cockers and another with a beautiful 4E Fluesie, I don't really think I've got the nerve. Wanna see a picture of my very-nearly-almost minty and OT Savage 23D? I didn't think so. Got original Savage and Weaver paper with it. Still no? Thought so.

Cody, Stunning flinter...you do good work!  Lowell well maybe it ain't a best but she's the best I've got. Made for bradell's by B&P in '07. Bought by some lucky bloke in Belfast for 16 guineas. Perhaps a change of cartridges could make you beesley as useful. The bird is the first in my collection of american state birds; it tasted pretty good; hope the meadowlark is as toothsome.

I've my Westley Richards Classics 1oz in 6s and 7s still left-over. Four boxes of 'em!
I figure that I have a 20 year supply!
Btw, your gun looks and acts with the best of them!

Harney, that's "Best enough" for me! And do I love the paint job on them "California" quail (probably the only thing from California that they appreciate up your way....).
Rabbit, I for one will look at any picture of any gun as long as it isn't black and made of plastic. So bring on your 23D! I've got a 23B to match.
