GPR rebuild
« on: April 12, 2009, 03:41:02 AM »
After this years flintlock season in PA I decided to refinish my GPR while I waited for parts to arrive for my next build.  I reshaped the forestock, cheekpiece, lockplate, nose of the comb and removed the perch belly.  I also added some traditional iron sights and refinished the hardware with LMF brown, but took to blue and rubbed back to gray-blue.

thats a very nice rebuild.i,d be proud to have done, own and hunt it.
 if your gonna start a new project with parts i have just one suggestion for you get the book Gunsmith of Greenville County. alright two visit The Flintlock Shop web site Mr Pirce has great tutorials esp if your going to do any carving then you too can bleed all over your stock.

I've been doing a lot of reading and asking questions and I am starting on my first buld from parts.  I have done a couple of kits and did this GPR rebuild, more as something to keep busy and practice, then out of necessity. 

Don't worry, as I progress I'll be asking LOTS of questions and taking my time.
