Thank you all.
For those who may be interested in, here a close up of the proof marks (blackpowder proof, Suhl proof house). No legal shooting in Germany without them.

Again, thank you all for your kind comments. I feel honored.
Just finished the last details on the rifle.
I filed the front sight flush with the barrel and made a sling from a canvas belt and some leather I had laying around.

Really nice work, Christian. Does your Jaeger produce the required joules for hunting Chamois, deer or boar?
Do you hunt?

Thank you Daryl.
I'm not sure about the muzzle energy it produces and I don't care much about it because I live in Germany and it is nearly impossible here to hunt legally with a muzzleloder. So I'm restricted to target shooting or reenactment.

Thank you.
Indeed I enjoy shooting it. Unfortunately just at paper targets. As I wrote previousely it's nearly impossible here in Germany to hunt with a muzzleloader legally.

Nicely done Christian.
Great first effort on the carving, wire, and engraving.
