Seriously, tell us about your 4 bore. Where did you get the barrel? What kind of wood is that? Must be tough to stand up to that kind of recoil.
I got my first flintlock when I was 17, long before the internet and no one to guide me. I filled the pan heaping full of powder and get hangfires like that. I sold the gun before learning my mistakes.

Made it all my self barrel is 4130 chromolly made on my lathe, rifled by hand and all the parts are hand filed. The stock is scarlet oak I milled on my sawmill. My first stock I decided looked too fragile, my second stock was Siberian elm and shattered while proofing.

Impressive work! Well done.
That thing could take down an AT-AT.

What's an at-at?

Tough, Abarnes that is.
I can't imagine shooting a 4 bore. I shot an 8 bore when I was much younger, and was told how to hold it properly. After 5 shots, that was enough for me.

Never saw them sorry
Recoil isn't too bad but after 7 shots my head was thumping and I had what looked like a bunch of hickies on my shoulder from blood getting pushed to the surface of the skin
