Pleasure, Sarg - Taylor says I'm his best promoter. This gun was most difficult to build, due to the wood. The gun holds steady due to the long barrel giving muzzle weight - just as it should. Ignition is eaual with the serated wheel and quartz, as it is with the smooth wheel and flint. The 'Dog' that holds the flint does not strike the wheel - it merely sits on it in the priming, or on top of the the cover over the priming until the trigger is pulled, or touched if set. It is a single set trigger of his design.

I don't know how heavy the gun actually is, just that it's not too much for one hand, is all.

Yes - he is a craftsman.
