    Something special from Old Germany

    Thank you Arquebus, That is very interesting. I had heard the term single set trigger before but didn't understand what it was. :surrender:

    Something special from Old Germany

    I was questioning the set trigger statement. 2 triggers on a SXS is what I see, where is the set that was mentioned? Or how is it done??

    Great day shooting!

    Nice Rifle! Best way to spend an afternoon I know of! I have been shooting my flint every day for the last 2 weeks. We leave Thursday for the Colorado Elk hunt. Yesterday our church had a clay pigeon shoot at one of the members home with a pot luck dinner. I set up my shooting table for Flint...

    Is there a selector for firing rifle or smoothy? Did you see this in a museum?

    My New R&L Lock is Inleted

    What a difference! Its just a all-around different gun now. Its fast and 24 for 25 ignitions(didn't whip the residue after one shot). I am a happy shooter now! Little Logan's cut is just fine. It was just a small one from a clam shell or such. It was just the blood that shook him up :wink: His...

    touch-hole liner cleaning

    I just had a white lightning liner installed yesterday, and this liner isn't removable without destroying it. However I had only removed the old liner a couple of times in the last 10 years. I run a pipe cleaner into it after cleaning and it always came back clean, so I am not going to worry...

    My New R&L Lock is Inleted

    The old touch hole insert is relieved of duty! a new White Lightning 5/16 X 32 is taking over the task of ignition. That tap was a hard one to find!(4 machinists and 2 Gun Smiths were asked and then one came forth with the correct tap. Tomorrow is test day, (again) Also some pic's of the...

    My New R&L Lock is Inleted

    Back from the shack, everyone is well,4 hornet stings 2 motor bike incidents, only minor blood loss. The worst swimmers itch I have ever had! Unbelievable weather, 1st night was a lovely 36deg. :) The rifle took 2 more days to get it to flash with consistency. The frizzen was hardened 2 times...

    i guess she was right?

    Heard hair spray will work. I am thinking about dry balling on purpose just to give it a try! And I will do it with a dirty barrel for full effect. Then there are the stout range rods that a slide hammer will work on. I have a drill bit and guide to pilot the ball for the screw. It works...

    My New R&L Lock is Inleted

    Got an hour before church to check in here :v I put her in a Cabelas Hawkins (Investarms). I got a chance to try her last evening, and there was no way to get spark int the pan. My shooting bud and I worked on it for a couple hrs and had to file away 1/3 of the frizzen spring to get it to snap...

    first flintlock exposure

    I have been asked so many times advice on what to buy concerning M/L's, and as I only owned a couple flinter's with no desire to own anything else my $.02 would always be of course Flintlock (the real deal, if you will). One of my carpool friends purchased a left hand GPR and truly enjoyed it...

    touch hole size retrospective

    I have not seen any velocity readings with my Pro-Chrono that can be used to differentiate anything. I get more ERROR messages than readings. I place the chronograph 15 yards from the muzzle also. I was thinking (yes its not my strength), but it would be interesting to line up 3 or more...

    Do you name your flintlock?

    On the 4th day of the 2005 Colorado M/L season after I flashed my pan on the second bull #1 5X5 and #2 6X6 45 yard broadside. I took a walk off the mountain and we went to town. The Wally World outside Denver had shelves of Imitation junk, and I was headed back empty handed as the Cap Lock that...
