A lot of work, for sure, but the gun looks great. Congrats. Hope you get a chance to shoot it, soon.

Wow that was a lot of polishing to get that brass looking great! Nice job! Is the bore size the same as a .38?

It's true I dont shoot black powder. But I love to built black powder kits This is a Traditions Kentucky Rifle I built for a friend who shoots black powder.
Thought I would add a bit of bling to it, he didn't seem to mind one bit.He says it a great.shooter. Sorry for the srappy photo
FYI the bear in the photo was given to me by my chemo nurses after my 14th and last treatment. Had stage 4 colon and liver cancer. God looked down on me and have been cancer free for almost 2 years. Prayers really work.
God Bless and Merry Christmas
