I finished this rifle from a kit a few months ago. it's a mid 1700s Colonial flintlock rifle.
IT is a joy to hold and shoot.

That's some of the nicest figured curly maple I have seen in a long time!

And the rifle you built with it is not too bad looking either!

Nice job. Simply beautiful rifle.

Makes me want to build another muzzle stuffer from a kit. I haven't built one of that small of a caliber, should be fun!

Your workbench is so neat it makes me jealous.
Your rifle is beautiful. You got your money’s worth on the stock.

I enjoy the Italian kit guns. This looks like a very good one. Used a CVA in the early 90s as a regular deer Hunter and did well with maxi bullets and Hogdon 777 powder. Sold it and bought a Knights inline as I prefer sabots.
