Good morning
Nothing like slinking through the woods, striking a spark on a frizzen and following a trail that ends in backstrap !
Looks like a fine rifle to take care of the corn crunchers in your area.

Very nice....all business. Guys who shoot the heavier stuff love that stock design.

Very nice... what are the actuals? Bbl length, bore dia., etc.? My ".54" is actually a .53, and uses .520 or .526 balls depending on patch thickness.

Great looking rifle. Hope it shoots good for you.
I have a very similar cap lock with the two wedges, all iron furniture but mine has a crescent butt and patch box. With my old eyes I've put a scope on it. It's a 50 and I shoot 90 grains ffg, poly patch and a 200 grain XTP. Kills 'em dead.
