    Missouri 'white flints'

    I ordered 1 dozen from Rich march 2. I dont know how long they take to get to Canada? He answered my emails fast. If they are as good as everyone says I know I'll be ordering bi weekly as I shoot way too many days no matter what the temp up here. The joy of working with 7 days off in a row. ROB

    pillow ticking patches

    I was at Walmart up here and couldn't find pillow ticking but did find feather ticking 100% cotton. I also found muslin 100% cotton, it comes in different weaves and is a natural color. Any ideas on either of these? ROB

    Well range went not too good so I drilled the hole to 1/16" and man every flash was followed by a bang. So the hole from the factory was too small. My pic fits in easy and I can feel the powder in there. Some guys at the range were shooting their pistols but said my gun makes lots of smoke and...

    [/url] Thanks I am going up to the range this afternoon to test the flint and see what happens. If i get miss fires with the pan ignited and the hole picked, I will be doing a wee bit of hole drilling. Either go 1/16" or the next size up. ROB

    If it mis-fires now I will do the 1/16" drill bit as it is an original. The new flint rocks with major sparks. Kind of glad I had true flint here for knapping. Anybody else have bad experience with the Lyman flints?

    I get sparks now with my self knapped english flint. I am going to the range in the am to try out the new flint. 70% of the misses were flint issues using Lyman cut flints. I only had 3 out of 14, that when the pan ignited there was no bang lol. One way or anouther this will pass. I am sure with...

    Flintlock Help

    Well I am back. I found one issue that I resolved. I found Lyman's flints don't spark enough. So I knap my own flints and man do they spark. My other issue is using 50 grains in my 50 cal it was hit and miss. I found that by switching to 70-80grains it would fire. Any idea's why more gains work...

    Flintlock Help

    Well being new to the flintlock I have a slight problem. I took my GPR to the range and found I had a few miss fires. 4 out of 17 shots I had to pull the ball out. I was using 2f for the ball charge and 3f for pan. I did pick the hole everytime before and after loading the pan. The temp...
