Yes it's a very nice rifle, good lines, nice wood and holds well. I purchased an estate of muzzle loading rifles and this is the third one I've posted, trying to get a little more info on the makers. I'm not new to muzzleloading (25+ years of shooting and building rifles on the west coast) but most of these makers were just before my time. I know that GRRW made barrel for sale along with building rifles (two from the estate are a Lyman style and an S J Hawkens) but the marking on the barrel made me think it was an independent maker. steg49
