I wonder whether it might get pretty hot to hold? Aside from considerations of weight, wooden furniture has insulating value.
I'm not familiar with operating muzzle-loading firearms, so I don't know how quickly they might heat up on firing. Then there's considerations of slick gripping surface, and also utilisation in winter. Aside from those truly irrelevant issues, it is a really gorgeous firearm. |

These muzzle loaders shoot one only round. The time you take to reload, they will cool down ... right ?
Maybe the difference in weight is not such an issue; considering that wooden stocks are made of solid material and these iron ones are (most probably) hollow . |

Slimline pistol
That is an extraordinary design. The slimmest pistol I have ever seen. The zig-zag top arm of the frizzen spring is a delight to look at!
