May look like a museum piece, but I consider it a working range rifle.

swivel breech
nice job.
Be nice if someone offered them as a kit form, as it is an unusual design. |

Beautiful rifle! I had a friend who had a swivel flintier made up for him - I always wondered how tuckered out they'd make a fellow carrying them hunting. A lot of weight there with two barrels. It will be fun to hear of your range time with that one . . . I'm sure you'll have a big grin on your face! Excellent workmanship and that one is going to draw a lot of interest at the range I'm sure. Congrats and have fun making smoke!
