I picked up a Lancaster style flintlock from Tip Curtis when I was at the NMLRA shoot. It is 54 cal and has a 38" Green Mountain swamped barrel and a large Siler lock.
When I first started shooting it, I was kind of disappointed because I couldn't hardly hit anything with it off hand. I was used to cap locks and this is my first flintlock and I wasn't used to the slightly longer delay. The more I shot it though the better I got and finely learned to follow through all the way. Now I can't seem to put it down. I have gotten 6 squirrels in a row now with 40 gr of 3f.
Here is a picture of the first squirrel I got with it. This thing is a hoot to shoot!
