Just finished building it today.
44” swamped barrel, .50 cal
Cherry wood
Aged the barrel with mustard and the brass with black powder residue. Nice patina now.
First smoke with it tomorrow.

I'm not much of a muzzle loader shooter, but that's one good looking firearm worth having and shooting.

Thank you. I was ringing 8” steel gongs with it this morning 50-100 yds. It’s a shooter!
