I'd like to see what that forward arm does.

I’m sure at the time it was thought a great idea! Besides only rich folks could afford a rifle so what da heck! 🤣. Give em a cool gimmick. Realistically. Such work, I imagine, was probably done in the infancy of conversions. Some smiths idea of trying to keep things safe Last edited by kaywoodie; 11/06/18.

As long as I follow the old time ways, this flintlock never fails to ignite the powder charge. Sherwood FIRE UP THE GRILL - is NOT catch and release!

Since my return from the mountings, I just can’t seem to get the chance to go afield! 😟. I even set up my canvas diamond fly and sat under it for a while. Pleasant weather today!

Its been a long and curvy journey but finally found one that suited me just right. This one will be a user for me for a long time. It is supposed to hit my doorstep tomorrow. 58 caliber and just what I wanted. Some youngster named Bergmann built it. And Kaywoodie helped me find it. And this one pictured below is my 54 right-handed Hawken. Its accounted for some real nice deer over the years and is a very good shooter. It may not get as much time now.
