    English flints

    A big nobly rock Covered in chalk. Which is how flint comes out of the ground

    Lock sparking

    I have a Hatfield and the frizzen spring just holds it closed. It’s almost not there. One of the fastest locks I’ve had

    Jaeger

    Still trying to find that out. It has a cartouche, but no makers name

    English flints

    Why not buy them from the flint knapper. If you’re a member of the MLAGB, you can get his information from them. I’ll try and look it out anyway

    Jaeger

    It’s a double slot. I’ve seen quite a few on germanic built muzzleloaders.

    Jaeger

    Jaeger

    Yes, it could be used either hand. most muzzle loaders can, but if you used it right hand, you have a patch box cover instead of a cheek piece. So it was made to be shot from the left shoulder

    Jaeger

    Many will have already seen this, but I love it, so here it is again. Made early 1700’s. Right handed lock, but has he cheekpiece on the right for a lefty shooter. And of course the patch box on the left

    Anyone travel to Italy?

    I’m sure those companies would let you know the answers, if you contact them

    Jager Projectiles

    This one was built also in the earl 1700’s, but the barrel may be older. It’s about 1/2 twist in 32 inch barrel. My other one is about 3/4 twist in 34” barrel. I’ll see if I can check some others next time I go to the Royal Armouries collection, in Leeds England

    Jager Projectiles

    That’s interesting. Any research that I have done, suggests a slowish twist on Germanic Jaeger rifles and as far as I’m aware, they definitely us3d patched round ball. I’ve not seen any references to conicals or anything like that

    Thank you.

    1861 tower enfield

    Looks to me like an Afghan build for the tourist trade. If it’s .54, it’s not an Enfield barrel.

    Thoughts On Smooth Rifles

    I shoot a 45 smooth rifle and my wife a 40. Shooting at a steel fox shape, I recently put 3 in the chest at 75 yds. That is my best shooting mind you. Lol

    Best Moose Milk

    As a patch lube, I just use Murphys neat. It’s a good lube and keeps any fouling soft, making cleaning much easier
