It does, though a different design. Here is a cut away from a caplock. and a bore shot from a flintlock with a tooth pick push through the touch hole.
Yep , keep it clean and dry and you'll be fine. After a good cleaning , pumping water through it, dry it out good . You can pull the liner and use a q-tip to further dry/clean the small chamber.Yesterday I didn't know what a patent breech was, now I have one!
thank you very much friend for answering my question and showing the pics. much appreciatedIt does, though a different design. Here is a cut away from a caplock. and a bore shot from a flintlock with a tooth pick push through the touch hole.
Not trying to kick you while you're down, but most offshore made ML's have them. Doesn't mean they aren't serviceable, just means ya gotta dance with them differently.
My first Flinter was a Lyman GPR I bought used. I experienced all the problems you are having. I was close to hucking that 9 pound hunk of junk into the creek. A few calls, texts and pictures with my buddy Gum Slough Muzzleloader, he talked me out of doing something stupid. I did a bunch of reading of old posts, I'm mean hours at a time, for days. Proper sized flints, proper cleaning techniques, and a new $6 touch hole liner, and that ol girl runs like a well made watch and I wouldn't sell it for twice what I paid for it. It'll happen for you too.
