My buddy and I were talking last night and apparently he has some time in December to do another build for me. I’ve been thinking it over. I need to decide what caliber first and then what flintlock pattern I want to do.
I have a swamped barrel .50 colerain with a Siler lock. And a sweet .36 caliber with an L&R lock and a rice barrel. Both flinters, shoot like champs and I’ve well tuned them.
I know that here in Colorado if I want to hunt elk with a patched ball, the minimum is .54. I mostly bow hunt so I don’t give a damn one way or another.
Know what calibers I already have, what caliber rifle would you have him make for you? Specifically, why do you like your caliber choice?
As far as right now, Im thinking a Jacob Dickert (Lancaster County) pattern. What pattern is your favorite?
