Hello everyone,
I am looking for advice on how best to drill a flash channel in my replica 1853 enfield musket from military heritage in Canada. It’s one of the Indian-made muskets that is imported without a flash channel due to customs regulations. I know, I know, Indian-made muskets are controversial. But I have several flintlocks that work just fine. The flash hole on the flintlock is fairly easy to drill, but I am confused on this percussion musket. Can it be drilled with a simple hand drill? is this a job for a professional?
Thanks for your advice!
