When I got back into traditional muzzleloading 4 years ago after a 35 year absence, I never even thought of a flintlock. Of all my hunting friends I am the youngest by a decade or two. a lot of my older friends tend to shoot mostly anything traditional. since ive been on this forumn ive became friends with some members and a couple even mentor me. I picked up my flintlock from a well respected vmember who had completely re-done my flinter upgrading the lock to a LR lock. the gun bluing has been rubbed back the stock rubbed back came with flints leather patches. its also the lightest muzzleloader I own shoots rb and bullets great, it definatly was a learning curve. I seriously doubt I will go rock lock only as when I grab this rifle its like my mind goes back a couple hundred years I get lost in thinking this is how our fore fathers used to hunt. when I carry my flintlock the kill or harvest is not important but rather having her in my hand letting my mind wander.
I could literally kill a pig a day with my flintlock so far ive taken squirrels a fox a coyote 4 decent size pigs. now if my flinter was a 54 caliber I would carry her more. I just love a .54 does anyone else do this hunt for nostalgic reasons with a flintlock
