    How old or fit are you to support the heavier bbl? Think about a few years down the road.

    When Do You Use Your Vent Pick?

    Also try picking before you pour the powder. You will find what’s best for that particular gun by trying different methods. A good flint that throws sparks directly into the center of the pan is had to debate.

    When Do You Use Your Vent Pick?

    I’ve read all of his work and take what works for me from it. I have about six flint guns at the moment and shoot most of them in club matches at paper and woods walks. Shooting at one this weekend in which I won last year using what works for me.

    When Do You Use Your Vent Pick?

    Right after every shot. I use 1/16 iron rebar tie wire that hangs from the trigger guard. I don’t use greasy lubes that would make fouling follow the pick back out. Proven performance and to each their own.

    Original Left Handed flintlock guns?

    Doesn’t the fur trade museum in Nebraska have some. Think I remember seeing them.

    A Lefty Caywood / Roby Northwest Gun

    If it makes anyone feel better let’s just say you are straighting it instead of bending it to hit POA. I just lay the barrel on the floor with a block of wood at each end and put my boot it the middle.
