I've been eying this forum for a couple of months since I first discovered it. I have decided to join in and try to pick up my first muzzleloader, especially a flintlock since flintlocks are the bee's knees. I also like the learn more of the muzzleloading side of the world since I only have smokeless guns.
 
Welcome from New York State's Central-Leatherstocking region.

Flintlocks are the existing example of when humans went from crude to sophisticated. Taking a rock and building a ingenious mechanism to make it throw harmful intent at 15 times what an arrow could do. A giant leap for mankind. And now, it is an all but lost technique. A well made flintlock may be the pinnacle of human firearms development before the assistance of milling machines, duplication routers, CNC and CAD-CAM.
