Flintlock Practice

[nkbj]

Hadn't shot my 9mm flintlock for quite a while. Made up some .35 "maxihunters" for really mean bunnies using an old Lyman mold from their 1982 factory seconds sale. The cherry had been stuck into the blocks too far so it makes wide flat nose plain bases instead of either end wadcutters. Sized those to have the rear bands slip into the barrel and the front bands to engrave into the rifling with maximum thumb pressure. They work great with a .357 case of FFFg.
But I'm so out of practice that a critter would have nothing to fear.

GoodCheer,

The term "9mm flintlock" makes me think I'm in an alternate universe :wink:

It really is a 9mm, with single set trigger and adjustable rear sight, built thirty years ago by Chris Hirsch.

when you first said 9mm flintlock, for a second I imagined a Beretta styled flintlock or a Luger styled flintlock (which I think would look cool and funny all at once)

(I blame the picture of the percusion lock 'assault rifle' someone shared a few weeks ago.)

Try as I might, I still can't find the damn cat in the pictures you and Claude post.

Cat? There's a cat in the picture?!

Love the cat, love the pistol. How much for both? :haha:
