Glad I shoot digital instead of film. I would have gone broke developing all the shots it took to land these.

And the black crunchy stuff that makes them go bang.

That exactly illustrates what got me hooked on a flintlock smokepole, after I had already built two percussion muzzleloaders.
And lock time is no appreciaable difference between the two. They're just fun.And state of the art for about 250 years.

Thanks all for the kindness. Flintlocks are a lot of fun to shoot and are my true shooting passion.
