I bought an L&R lock and trigger, already had the trigger guard and had to use layers of leather to build up the rear stock cheek area as the stock was going to be a flint lock. The scope is a Wm Malcom copy from Optics Planet and is 8 power, similar to a John Unertl USMC model. I have it shooting 540 grain grease groove bullets out to 300 yards now (max length of our range) at about 1/2 MOA or better if I am feeling better!

I found out that the barrel is a gain twist made by Ron Smith in Canada so it was a steal for me! Twist starts at 1 in 24 ends at 1 in 15 at the muzzle.

Very Nice!!

Love the scope! I have a Unertl 2 Inch Ultra Varmint 15x Scope sitting around here somewhere
