Do any of your use a brush to clean your gun?
Hello, I usually use hot water to clean my gun, but am looking for ways to make that process a bit smoother. I'm also thinking for when I'm at the range and want to clean my gun between shots. I was thinking a brush might be kinda handy to loosen up the majority of the fouling and then I could...- Flinter987

Should I be worried?
Thanks for the pics Zonie - that makes a lot of sense! Yeah,I think it is the angle of the camera as I had no problem removing and reinstalling the liner and don't remember anything appearing out of order. I don't remember how long the liner was - but it seemed to have enough threads and all...- Flinter987

Should I be worried?
Ok. Thanks for all the input guys! I really appreciate it. I'm going to try emailing the shop I got it from as well to see what they have to say. I see what you guys are saying about it looking like it was changed from per. to flint - but I bought it brand new in a store. Would traditions have...- Flinter987

Should I be worried?
I'll have to try measuring the liner. I usually don't have a problem with it at all, so I'm thinking it was just fouling. Unfortunately, this gun comes with a ramrod that is about 6 inches too short,the whole thing will go into the barrel with it unloaded. Thanks Traditions! I see where your...- Flinter987

Should I be worried?
Yes, I've owned it since new. The shop I got it from did do something to it to make it fire more consistantly, although I do not remember what they said they did. They did it to all new ones they sold. I don't remember if that mark has always been this way or not. I just noticed it the other...- Flinter987

When and Why did you get started?
Oh, lets see. I've been interested in history like forever. Wanted a flintlock for a long time. I finally bought one in Spring 07. My dad had a percussion rifle for a few years before that. Shortly after he bought his gun I picked up a C&B revolver. I shot that while I decided what Flintlock I...- Flinter987

Should I be worried?
I've never seen the likes of this! It has me a bit worried, so I thought I'd ask you guys about it before I decide to fire my rifle again. I noticed this after I finished cleaning it the other day. I did have to dislodge my patched ramrod because it got stuck in the bottom of my barrel, I think...- Flinter987

It's actually rifled! No sights on it though, so that might still be plenty far. We'll have to try some heavier loads and see what that does!- Flinter987

I'm Drooling!
Yeah, I wouldn't want to shoot this one either! What do you think worth is?? I would be interested in buying it and making a replica - do you know of anyone who would engrave the "bands" on the barrel for me if I tried attempting such a project? Flinter- Flinter987

It's about .62 caliber. There's a ton of proof markings on the barrel, but I don't see anything designating the gunmaker.- Flinter987

I'm Drooling!
I stopped by one of our local specialty gun stores today and found this! Now I'm drooling! Doubt I'll buy it, but it sure is cool! All they know about it is that it is mediterranean in origin. I thought I'd post it on here for you all to see and also was wondering if anyone has any more info on...- Flinter987

any info on the shennadoah by traditions
I have one. So far it has served me well. The shop I bought it from tweaked my gun before I bought it (I think maybe they enlarged the touchhole?) Anyways, it's been super reliable for me. Being new to flintlocks I'm learning to watch for a sharp flint and moisture buildup under the flint and...- Flinter987
