Custom .long rifle arrived a few days ago

Finally got this one in! Its a custom built .50cal long rifle with deep slow twist rifling and Siler lock. No markings on the barrel so it may have been cut to its shorter 36" length and the markings were removed by doing so. Shes a shooter so far. I tried a peewee load of 60 grains 2fg black powder, .020" patch and a .490" round ball. 5 shots into 2" group at 50 yards. Not bad for the first load to try for fun. I think it will like a .495" ball best as it loaded easy despite the .020" patch.

Haven't decided just exactly what I will do with it yet.

Just a few sample pics

Great wood on it, Looks like a Master wood craftsman did his magic on it. That is a beautiful piece.
