My flintlock is finished

fire-n-brimstone · Oct 7, 2011

Well got a email today from my builder, my flinrlock is done and shipped. He test fired the rifle and says its a shooter he had 3 touching at 50 yards. This i sa sitting fox kit that took 3 months to get all the parts right. but it is finally done. It is a 54 cal green mtn barrel.

The builder is a friend of mine Ric Carter.

Yes I am this is my first flintlock. It has been a dream rifle of mine for about 10 years and i finally got the money for it.

Dream rifle alright.
As many fine, and not so fine, ml rifles I have seen over the years I never stop being excited when I see a new one. Even though the numbers of people in the ml game are said to be dropping, there are still considerable numbers of people preserving history and demonstrating great craftsmanship with these guns. I hope it continues forever.

Andy, there is nothing like having a rifle that is handmade. I have had a few production rifles, but until I got my .36 Southern I never fully appreciated the quality or accuracy :thumbsup: ...Bud

Hi Andy, you have a fine rifle built by a great builder. How did you (in Pennsylvania) get hooked up with Ric in Montana?

We are both moderators on the cast boolit website.
