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.
