for somebody at Christmas! ![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49210422826_5f7aecdc96_b.jpg) Untitled by .com/photos/61286670 N08/]Sharps Man, on [bleep] I don't need this one! It's a Leman .50 caliber PRB twist of 1-66, Davis triggers, 34" Sharon barrel. The stock is a Birdseye maple finished with Aqua Fortis, and LMF walnut stain. The final finish is many coats of Tru-oil. I want $1250.00 which is just what I have in it! Rifle made by Tom Watson over in Georgia!

You're a good Santa! Or is Santa giving to you? I've got it....but want someone else to own it! Doesn't make sense to me for some to blow $6-700 for a piece of junk made in Timbucktoo or Jackrabbit Egypt when for a few $$$$ more they can get one made by one of the best builders around!! I bought junk once and finally figured out I wound up having to buy twice!

Folks, this is one nice rifle for a great price. I came within a whisker of buying it. Had it been percussion, rather than a flintlock, I would have jumped on it PDQ. I just don't want to mess with a flinty now. Hopefully, somebody will grab it up.

A good lock, and properly placed vent hole makes fliters pretty quick. The drama comes into play with a crappy build.
A good flint is quick too.
