Now for my question. I finally fired the flintlock Hawken I built. I actually hit the target with the first shot at 50 yards. When I rammed the first ball home the barrel shaved wood off the ramrod. As it did with all the next shots. I really like the way it looks so I don't want to dick it up.
I took an old 12 gauge bore brush and cut off the bristles. I epoxied a .40 cal case onto it. Once the epoxy sets I'll dish the end tomorrow. So I'll have an aluminum ramrod. Anyone know if this is a bad idea?
