hey look Judson. Nothing wrong with wanting a gun that is more stable and dependable and sturdy. Why do you think they went with percussion over flintlock. Instead of being so negative, try thinking about all the positves to this idea of thunders, I think it's a pretty cool way to customize a gun. I would prefer more of a full on woodland scene, with like milo hansen's buck or something, but still. Theres nothing inherently wrong with it, don't knock it because it's different.
