Re: Daryls paper patched RBs.

I made some changes as you might notice. I've 4 coats of tung oil on the stock now, blued the white locks, hammers and tang and removed that awful cheek piece that resembled nothing from the past. A plain stock, without a cheek piece is period correct as-is a properly shaped cheek piece. The fit is better now, and will allow lower sights - which will come later.

Hope you like it, I do. Couple more coats and it will be done, but I have to shoot it Saturday and Sunday, so it needs to harden till then. I've set the most forward sight as the point blank sight- for out to 110yards or so, and the rear sight should be close for elevation to 150-175yards. Saturday, I'll find out if it's indeed shooting parallel as it seems to be doing now that I increased the charge to 100gr. 2F.
