Southern Mountain Rifle #8

This rifle will have a 42" rice 45 caliber barrel with straight rifling.  I bought a piece of wood from Muzzleloaderbuilders supply and had them inlet the barrel and drill the ramrod hole.  It will have a chambers golden age flintlock, a hooked breech, and double set triggers.  When I received the parts the other day I checked the lock to see how it sparked, it almost lit my carpet on fire.
