Carl asked me to build a .50 flintlock for Carole for their 50th wedding anniversary. The rifle has a 38 inch .50 Rice B weight barrel, a Classic Ketland lock, and a single trigger which I described in the Tutorial "Trigger Problems and Solutions" on June 13, 2010. I adjusted the trigger depth and the release is now about 3 pounds, very good.
There is a heart-shaped sterling silver thumb plate engraved "50".
The eagle is one of Carole's porcelain hat pins.
The rifle weighs 6 and 3/4 pounds.
