    Pan Primer

    (okay, I thought I was asking the question, but here is the revised one) Anyone know of a good pan primer that works when you use fffg? From what I have read, these darn things need the finer powders to work correctly. True?

    New rifle trials - 1:48" round balls

    I used a suggestion by somebody on this forum...I used sheets of paper folded and trimmed the shape of a large triangle. (and I chose bright, gaudy, flourescent, hot pink colored paper) Mounted the triangle upside down so a point was at the bottom to give a very large, visible target but with...

    Priming the pan (again)

    Okay, we have talked about this to death before but I just god done re-reading the TC Manual for my Firestorm Flint. They say (much as all of you have) to fill the pan half full (or half empty). Here is the kicker: They recommend starting the fill by putting powder into the vent hole then...

    Flintlock Fun

    I have repeatedly said I would rather shovel snow for 8 months of the year than worry about my roof blowing off or a mountain falling on me. North East is fine living!!!! :applause: My respect and sympathies though for others have suffered through the ordeal that mother nature has put on your...

    Turkey Painting

    most enjoyable. Any well done. A co-worker of mine who is the one that got me into this flinter thing is a serious French and Indian era enthusiest. He also manages to do a bit of painting once and a while. Check this link out. Again, BEAUTIFUL...

    RESULTS - Age of Forum Users

    I just found this and (gulp!) fall victim. I am 38 and just got into this..... Perhaps the age is related to maturing and reasonably wanting to take a trip back away from all the fancy crud we have in our lives!!!! Isn't it ironic though that this band of time warpers, who want to feel some...

    conicals?

    Thanks to everyone for the thoughts. My next question (although answered strongly if you read between the lines in many posts elsewere) is if a .50 prb is really adequate at 175g for reliably harvesting deer. Wasn't the concept of the .54 really evolved because of the exponential mass increase...

    conicals?

    I seem to see a heavy favoritism toward prb's. I do ask though what is thoughts on the various conicals out there? The TC Firestorm I'm shooting (flinter) supposedly can handle conicals as well as sabots. Thoughts please.

    Question for the lefties

    This discussion just brought back a most humorous experience of my own. I shoot right handed (I am a leftie but right eye dominant). On a trip with a friend, my gun failed (stupid in-line - that is now why I got a flinter). My partner hands me his gun to take the shot. It is left handed...

    Getting Things Ready, Advice Please (firestorm)

    You described my (ir)rational reasons for purchase to a T. The ease of cleaning was the greatest reason for the choice of this gun. Pellets are my crutch until I get the hang of things. From the way some talk about the lack of performance or problems with pellets, I may have an excellent...

    Getting Things Ready, Advice Please (firestorm)

    Interesting you say that. I honestly have not had a problem with the other gun going off with pyrodex pellets (209 ignition). I'm just trying to find the best way to get started with this thing.

    Getting Things Ready, Advice Please (firestorm)

    The gun is supposedly designed with a "false barrel". The last few inches are widened for easier loading and also lack rifling. Should I still be considering muzzle guides? Please expand on your suggestion.

    Getting Things Ready, Advice Please (firestorm)

    If I'm shooting pyrodex, what is the recommendation for cleaning product? I was surprised (and glad for the information) that using alcohol for quick touch-up is a good way to go. I had a really bad experience with the Knight products with my in-L**@ (I think you know the word I meant there)...

    Getting Things Ready, Advice Please (firestorm)

    seeing that the gun was supposedly designed for pellets, and since I still have a mess of pellets from "that other gun", I was going to start there.....after going over much of the information on this forum, I'm figuring to start with fffg for the pan. Conicals seem to be the suggestion from the...

    Getting Things Ready, Advice Please (firestorm)

    Okay, I'm new at this. I just recently took delivery of a TC Firestorm Flinter. I'm making the change from an inline (oops, am I alowed to say that word here?). TC didn't go through too much advice on getting the gun ready for the first outing so I'm asking for help. Should I follow the...
