Joe Wood, That is something I have always wanted to do! I may post some pictures of my great-grandfather's rifles, both 36 calibers if I can get my cousins to let me photograph them. Here in PA rifles were made illegal for turkeys just a year ago and then they were only legal in the fall. Your flintlock is of the type I think of as a turkey rifle. My great-grandfather's are cap locks. Yours is a beauty.
