Just finished my last build. Swamped 35" .54 Colerain barrel. Large Chambers deluxe flint lock. White Lightnin vent liner. Haines profile curly maple fullstock. All iron furniture. I built this rifle for a fairly lightweight hunting gun with a pre-revolutionary look. I am happy with how it turned out. Anxious to get out and shoot it !

Great job. The wood exceptional. I'd almost be afraid to use it because it's so darned nice looking.
 
How beautiful!
Is that a Chambers kit?

I have visited Chambers shop, it is not too far from here, outside of Asheville NC.
It was a religious experience, damn, does he have some beautiful guns and gun parts in there. I thought I had cranked up the time machine, and the year was 1778.
 
Thanks guys, it turned out pretty good. It is not a Chambers kit. The Lock is a Large Siler built by Chambers though. I bought the stock and lock at a muzzleloader shop in PA and ordered the rest of the parts through Track of the Wolf. The stock was pre-shaped with the barrel channel and ramrod channel drilled. I had to inlet the lock, trigger, buttplate, toeplate, tang,ramrod pipes,patch box, etc. The swamped Colerain barrel started at 38" but I shortened it by three inches.
 
great job!

i've been working on one for over a year and i know first hand the craftmanship needed to make a beauty like yours.

That is a sweet job. Hope you enjoy taking her out as much as working on her. I have a Kentucky that spent time on. Her best attribute is the stock. I shot her a year or so. Then I found out what it would to cost to replace it.:eek: I went out and bought me another $150 shooter. So it now hangs above the door.

Enjoy and post back your experience.:D
 
I thought it might have been a Chambers kit, because he loves swamped barrels, and about half of his guns use swamped barrels.

I built a percussion rifle once and inletted the lock, that was a lot of fun.
Gun worked pretty well, too.
That was a pretty rifle, but not as nice as yours.
Good work!
 
Where is Cabin Creek Muzzleloaders? Sounds like a shop I would like to visit. I bought the pre-shaped stock and lock at Fort Chambers muzzleloader shop in Scotland PA.
