What a beautiful rifle! The craftsmanship is amazing, as seen on my screen. I don't see any of the traditional barrel to stock fasteners, just a smooth blemish free stock. And its massive! Thank you for the great video.
Thank you. I wanted a frontiersman’s rifle, not a show piece. The steel is all browned vs. blued. From what I understand most of the examples that we have are from the well to do who didn’t use their guns for their livelihood. Those mantle pieces are gorgeous and true works of art. I’m not a fancy person. I was enlisted in the U.S. Army so I wanted a gun in the style of someone just like me, budget, utilitarian, functional, hard working. I’m really glad you enjoyed it 👍
Black powder shooting has always interested me, but I haven't got into it yet (other than an 1854 Repro BP Revolver). Thanks for the good detailed info along with the shooting
Awesome video! Love the whole process of loading and shooting. Im looking to get into muzzleloaders soon. May I ask, what camera you used and how you did those transitions in the recording? Thanks!
Thanks! The non-shooting videos were done with my iPhone. The other videos were shot with an Insta360 X2 (they have an X3 out, now). The 360 camera captures video in a full sphere but the software allows you to narrow the field down to what you want folks to see. Another cool thing is, you can actually publish the full 360 video to UA-cam and viewers can scroll around "inside" the video, looking at any aspect they wish. The "cross blur" transitions are part of the iMovie software. While I have the more sophisticated suite of video tools, iMovie really does a great job for most of the things I do.
You make Canada's national uniform look way better than I do!

Very good run with a flinter. Your Dad did a nice job on the rifle, it's nice and slim. Most folks leave too much wood on the stocks.
Thank you! It is motivating me to build flintlocks for our sons.

@davidhartley8820 Nice!!! I'm going to look into that 360 camera, what a great way to show the whole shooting positions for CFC! Appreciate you!
Is that a Pineland flag, I see?
Absolutely! I was hoping someone would notice 👍
