After building a number of flintlocks, I am looking for something different. How does the miquelet lock compare to the usual flintlocks in ignition speed? I saw a couple on Youtube that looked comparable, but they were shown in slow motion.
 
who doesn't like BIG BERTHA BUTS? I for one am a BIG BUT MAN, and also like FISH TAIL BUTS.
 
All the above show a refreshing option to the usual Long rifle theme and no hint of factory er' 'pieces' going on copper caps .(Showing of course the widest streak of flintlock snobbery !) No I admire imagination in gun making, good to see it.

WKD, some info on that beautiful piece please?

This is a Hudson Fowler I just finished. 47" tapered round 20 gauge barrel (by Bob Hoyt) a lock from The Rifle Shop (early French) all brass copied cast and copied from original guns.
I have it listed in the Firearms for Sale section. Taking offers.
 
Ooooh Gentlemen, I believe I am in love! The big butts give balance where it should be, and makes pass shooting with a long barrel a thing of beauty! I'm presently working on a big butted canoe gun using a broken and cut down Virginia rifle, iron furniture with a 30" Oct/round .50 caliber barrel (Green Mountain) and a Siler classic style percussion lock (I know, I know,) which a fellow gentleman and scholar from Missouri named Tenn-something graciously took a hell of a loss on so I could afford it. The stock balances up to my right arm like a glove and takes the weight off the fore end so I can hold it nicely with my crippled left arm. I have a Springfield 1863 musket barrel opened to .60 cal. smoothbore that I intend to make a late percussion ( I know, I know,) Trade gun out of, and the breech is big enough to justify a BIG butted stock. With the heavier 'buck and ball' 40" barrel, I believe it will be a real beauty. I might be prejudiced though, since my Mother's maiden name was -get this- Butts!
