That fits perfectly with researched behaviour on message boards. Ten percent post and 90% only read. :shocked2:

And then there's another bunch like myself who don't own a flint rifle. :rotf:

Okay, here goes:

Favorite flintlock: .40 cal. Early York Pennsylvania with a sliding wooden patchbox that I built.

Favorite load: 45 grains fffG Goex with a .390 ball, .017 pocket drill patch lubed with straight Ballistol. I also use a leather OP wad that is lubed with Ballistol.

Favorite cleaning method: Hot soapy water followed by a rinse with boiling water. Then I wipe it out wiht several dry patches. I next spray a goodly amount of WD-40 in the bore to displace any remaining water. I run several dry patches through to remove any WD-40. Lastly, I run a patch soaked with Birchwood-Casey Shieth through the bore and it is good until next time. Of course, I clean all of the outside in a similar manner and I put a light coating of floor wax on the stock. I've done it this way for years and my guns look new.

Favorite place: Hoosier National Forest
