Love the color, be nice to know more about it,
Barrel finish is really great, has a warm feel to it

Agreed :)
Nothing beats the feel of a handmade southern iron mounted flintlock on a cold frosty morning

It's a very nice rifle. I wish he would have carried out the finial on the buttplate though!

Maybe the buttplate was used after a Indian used the finial for a ornament  ;)
