    plugged breech

    Thank you. This actually sounds like what the problem is. I had to go out of town for a while, but will try this tonight. To everyone at this site, THANK YOU so much. It is the brotherhood of rendezvous that helps keep this sport alive. One can always expect the usual kidding and razzing from...

    plugged breech

    Many thanx to all, however, it is not a dry ball. I do not know what is down there in the breech. Caps and 4f do not fire through.I do however, suspect that it has something to do with the windex as a barrel cleaner. Any body have any experience with this??? Has anybody used a CO2 cartridge to...

    T/C Hawken

    Still laughing. Reminds me of my experience with the t.v. crews filming at a rendezvous. Camera man was up close for a "tight shot" of my flinter. I gave the warning, looked at him, said he might want to move back, he came back with a smart a** remark, I nodded and touched it off. After he got...

    plugged breech

    :surrender: HELP. Many years ago, I purchased a t/c hawken. It has been a favorite of mine. I have since progressed to a flintlock, but still use the hawken for fun.

    gunpowder burns

    Ok, without going into too many details, let me ask if anyone knows how to remove blackpowder from your skin. Hint, this incident involved a flintlock, the frizin, and my stupidity.

    rendezvous

    Anybody passing through Utah on the 4th of July, stop on by a small town called Mount Pleasant. Located on Historic Highway 89. This year city celebrates 150 yrs, and the 10th annual blackhawk rendezvous. Shinnin times. (great fireworks also)

    grouping problems

    I have a problem with my groups. I am consistantly low and to the left. Between 7 and 8 on the clock dial and at approx. the 7 ring on a bullseye. At first I thought it was just my t/c hawken, then my flinter started it, now my pedersoli. I know it is me not the equipment. My question to all...

    Flintlocks Rule The Earth

    My idea of the best is, obviously, my flintlock. It is a J.P. Beck, Lancaster. My only question to this fine group of fellow flinters is this: How best do you clean your flinter when the barrel is pinned??? I use a toothpick in the flash hole and then go from there with cleaner. Any help...
