Perhaps if I wasn't an artist who makes his living creating original artworks, both on canvas and on guns, I would feel differently. To me, unless we're talking original collector guns, which I generally stay away from, guns are just another canvas to work on. To each his own.

I like non-rebounding locks as it is easier to cock both both hammers when bringing the gun up to shoot. On most rebounding locks it is difficult to impossible to cock both hammers as the gun is raised. Also admit that black powder is more fun but do shoot mostly smokeless in damascus barrels.
Cheers,
Laurie I hadn't considered that. I just looked at it again, and you're right, the hammers are easily cocked both at once, especially so since the frame is so small. Thanks!

I am also a fan of non-rebounding hammers; safe when on half-cock and easier than rebounding to bring to full cock for a shot, either one hammer or both. Hard to mix them up though because you have to remember to pull hammers to half cock to remove spent shells...Geo

Thank you. I suppose it would be uneconomical. Just what do we discuss here that is "economical?" LOL CHAZ

A very attractive gun, especially after your artistry had been applied!
I suspect that this gun falls into the 'nigh-on impossible' section for conversion. The lock is so narrow behind the tumbler that I doubt their would be room enough for sear spring plus the 'passive' arm of the spring which must be extended (replaced) to reach the tumbler.

If you create original "art works" then do so don't mess with others work . Your comments would have me believe you would put the Mona Lisa in a bikini to make her" more attractive" .

When I began my more productive hobby of flintknapping, I made the decision to never utilize the many unfinished aboriginal blanks I found while hunting projectile points. I studied them in all conditions of completion to better understand how I could replicate the originals. There is likely a point of reason-ability in Mark's gun-stock art. I doubt Mark would undertake to 'improve' a Mona Lisa stock on an existing gun, but there are so many ugly ones out there that his work can make better, I do not personally see the problem...Geo

Pretentious? Pretentious? Hardly:
Mark has taken a "boring" gun of mine and made it a "Wow!" gun.
He is an artist of first degree, and does no harm to a stock by "enhancing" it.
I think what he did to this gun is simply amazing.
To each his own, but for me, Mark can shoot any of my guns, or "enhance" any one he deems needs it.
