After a lot of tweaking and 4 coats of hand rubbed Minwax Tungoil Finish I think she's ready to shoot.

Nice looking piece you got there Swampman. That should
keep you in deer meat any time you need some.

What a beautiful job you did. You are going to like that rifle a lot.

What are you going to shoot in her? i.e. ball type, patch thickness (if applicable), powder type and load.

By the way, good work, beautiful rifle. I envy you.

Great job, Swampman! I have a .54 GPR production percussion I bought over 30 years ago and a .54 GPR flint I built from a kit. Both wil shoot a one ragged hole group at 50 yards with a .530 ball, pillow ticking patch lubed with Ballistol oil and 80 grains of FFg Goex. 90 grains of FFg Goex will put me on the mark at 100 yards. That rifle is not only ready to shoot, it's yelling, "Shoot me!!!!!" Enjoy!
