Runar, I believe you can work on almost any restoration project, and get it done quickly.

Really like how you put those initials and other designs on that BB stock!  And wore away some of the wood by the tang.  Why, I almost  believe that we are back in the 18th century!

Best looking military rifle for sure, and I am sure it shoots well.  Show us some of the targets, please.

It must be the Viking heritage.  Most of us wouldn't have the cajones to take on such a project.
Sorry, not sure how to translate cajones.

Nice job Runar.  I'd like to see that cock and pan darkened just a bit, here and there, to match the patina on the lock plate.

[BOB HILL]

Excellent job, Runar. I always enjoy your posts. Thanks for sharing.

That is interesting and nice work.  I find the modifications to them interesting - the front sight on one in the manner of Prussian and some Dutch muskets, as well as the rear sights.  Did your Army ever use them as they were built by the British, or were they rebuilt and modified after some time?  I would have been tempted to restore the one with a dog for the cock, but I always thought they were rather uglier than the original lock.

Very nice Runar!

Maybe rub it back a bit.  ....just to lighten it a little. 

Great work, my friend!

Hi Runar,  yes, I understood them to be used in Swedish army - I was curious about the modifications done to them.  Did they alter the original flint cocks to use with the dogs, or did they fit them with new ones?  I'm more familiar with Norwegian arms, most of which seem to have been converted to percussion - but some of them have two positions for the dog to catch - I was curious if the Swedes had done this too.
