I guess I can post it here, it being a single shot.some of my engraving on the trigger guard that started off as a casting. I filed the beads on each side of the bow. I designed the engraving based around the stylized English Tudor Rose.

There are a few good artist out there, you have done well.

This is the business end of the rifle. The cap and ramrod end is buffalo horn. The end of the stock extends to the very end, it is relieved a bit to allow fitting of the horn tip, this maintains its strength. The sight is made from a piece of cold rolled and the bead is faux ivory. Thank you all for the nice comments.

That's really beautiful. Please show us it when done, and include details such as what lock, barrel, triggers etc. You really have talent, Sir. I do love a flintlock.

The lock is a Jim Chambers round face English lock. The barrel was made by Rice barrels in NC, 30” long, .58 cal, swamped with round bottom rifling 1:66 for round ball. These photos show the method used for attaching the horn forend. The wood shown in the bbl channel is soft pine, this allows one to work in that area and not break off the thin sections of wood next to the barrel. To make removal of the pine easy, it was installed with two sheets of newspaper between the bbl channel and the pine block using white glue that is water soluble. After chiseling away most of the pine I wet the channel and easily rubbed out the newspaper. Epoxy was used to secure the horn to the English walnut stock.
Thanks for looking and commenting!
