My take on the Tulle fusil-de-chasse!
Made everything on it except for the barrel and lock and worked using exclusively handtools. The lock bolts, tang screw, tumbler screw and wood screws are all filed by hand. Forged buttplate and trigger guard. The ramrod pipes are also handmade.

40 caliber Appalachian rifle.
44″ swamped barrel by Rice Barrels. Nock flintlock and Estes set trigger by Buck Ridge flintlocks.
All of the hardware was forged from a 3/4″ bar of wrought iron.
The maple stock was stained with tannic acid and my home brew aqua fortis made with the same wrought iron.
The forced patina was also made with my mix of ferric chloride and aqua fortis.
