Runar, is the stock the 1807 model, but the lock, 1847?
Appears to be sound enough, from the outside. What calibre please?
The rate of twist might be interesting as well as the type of crown.

Different to say the least..Them Scandahoovians make them strong and simple.

That is a good looking rifle. Looks like it would be a great stalking rifle.

Thank you guys! Rifle started as a flintlock in 1807, converted to percussion pillar breach in 1847. Later the pillar , bajonetfeste
 remowed and made for hunting.So I remowe the breach plug, percniple and cleaning screew and mount with copaslip. New nipple for musket caps made.

Hi all!
Lock cleaned and it work perfect! Bob Roller have you made a Kyhl lock sometimes? See how close half/full is nice!

Runar, lock looks great. What kind of trigger pull do you get with it. I see that full cock does not have a very deep engagement. The sear itself does not have a really sharp nose. Seems that it would give you a nice release.

Hi all!
alacran, trigger weight is 1,7 KG  ok the nocecap was loos so its fixed with new wood

It’s so interesting to see the various guns you work on and restore!
This one is really interesting. The hammer inside the lockplate looks very simple and strong. But I can’t imagine how much dirt and grime gets inside. Is there a big opening between the hammer and stock where the hammer travels?

[runastav]

Hi all! Bob Gerard, no opening there look at the photo of the backside of the lock and you see the flashpan back parts is intakt after they remowe the pan you comprende me? ;)The butcap screws have no wood to hold on so they got new wood and the lock some new wood who vas missing.

Hi all! Nice rear sights, the rifle is test fired with light loud. 40grs PP Wano, 60" RB in a 0,32" JT path  and offhand standing ca 40m the owner will find a much better load

Really like those sights Runar.
40 grains is a puny load for such a big ball. Of course if it has a fast twist like one turn in the length of the barrel then it may be adequate.
Congratulations on a fine restoration!
