I like that rifle a LOT! Been wanting a .38 cal for years and have just never gotten around to building one...

[Birddog6]

That looks real good &I like the.caliber. I have a .38 cal Goodoien barrel I have saved for
a Tenn rifle.  Not that I think that cal. is more accurate than a 36 or a .40, I like it because
It is oddball, or not as generic as the others.
You did a nice job on your rifle.

The last caplock I made was an English style target rifle for a 330 grain lubricated bullet and
a .375 Hoyt fast twist barrel that would reach out and touch whatever the sight was on.
