    Javelina with my Flintlock in Arizona Video

    Thank you for the honesty and that is exactly what I want to hear, I'd almost rather hear the critisizm because I want to improve, especially since this is my first try at it. I understand this hunt is not a primitive situation, and may not even belong here at all? ********If not please delete...

    Javelina with my Flintlock in Arizona Video

    I just wanted to share my recent Javelina hunt video that I just put together. This is my first big game with my flinter and my first attempt at making and editing a hunting video. I have had a TON of point of impact issues with this gun, talked to a few people and I think I am just going to...

    Reliable first shot in the field

    Great advice and a ton of good tips guys! Thank you. I really got to thinking about my shots that have not gone off and I think more of them had been while I was shooting and just after cleaning in between some shots, probably liquid in the vent preventing the pan lighting the barrel powder...

    Reliable first shot in the field

    Hmmm, didin't even think about supplying that info. It is a custom with a Deluxe Siler lock, Tom Fuller English knapped flint, White lightning liner I believe, and a 42" G.M. Barell 1/70 twist I think. Thank you.

    Reliable first shot in the field

    Hopefully this is not too redundant of a question. I have shot Flintlocks for a short time now but can get them to fire pretty reliably at this point. I am going Javelina hunting with my Flinter this weekend and need it to fire the first time, with no doubts. It has failed to go off the...

    Arizona flinter shooting help

    Ian, no offense whatsoever. Very logical questions for a newbee. I do have about everything except for a Knapping hammer and Range rod as of yet. I do clean between shots, usually don't go more than 3 shots. I will clean between with Hoppes #9 B.P cleaner or Moose Juice. I pick the vent...

    Arizona flinter shooting help

    I am hoping to find a flinter that shoots frequently and that I could shoot with hopefully this weekend sometime, I also have Monday off. I am the only B.P. shooter out of all of my friends so this has been a big learning curve on my own just jumping in. I called a local club listed on NMLRA...

    ball size variations?

    Unfortunately I do not have either. These actually have a ridge around them, kind of like a ring around a planet. May be from the mold? So are the variations in size pretty common? They say on the box uniform in size, weight and concentricity. I bought some more and meausured them, did not...

    ball size variations?

    bought some hornandy .490 from Cabelas and took them to the range Sat. My renegade flinter has a QLA and used a .020 pre-lubed patch, I couldn't thuumb start this combo which I thought was strange. used my short starter and was very tight just in the QLA. I could not get the ball down. had to...

    Finally took out my Renegade

    Just got back from shooting this evening. I only had a couple hours to shoot but noticed an improvement. As I'd mentioned in my last post I just got a .45 cal custom flinter. It has a large Siler Lock and G.M barrell. The first shot the pan went off and not the gun. I remembered what people...

    Finally took out my Renegade

    I am using real B.P. Goex FFF. I do have the new style hammer, frizzen, and the new style liner. The t.h. is centered and just above the pan. Looks perfect from the pics I have seen and what I've read. I am using the sawn flint it came with (white), but also have an english flint to try...

    Finally took out my Renegade

    Well I bought a .50 cal. Renegade over a year ago. Some stuff came up and had to put on hold for a while. I bought this thing and didn't realize it had the QLA and my only interest was shooting PRB's. I PM'd a gentleman on here when it arrived about some advice. I was going to get a new non...

    Black Powder questions

    I know it will shoot it, I was concerned about an already short barrel on the renegade and losing an 1-1/2 or so of rifling, but biggest worry is a crooked patch and not being able to thumb start like I can when the prb sits on top of rifling until I am ready to push it down. Basically I don't...

    Black Powder questions

    I have a .50 cal Thompson Renegade that I have yet to fire (bought on gunbroker and didn't realize it had the QLA and only wanted to shoot PRB's) and a custom .45 flinter on the way. Bought an old Jukar .45 flinter pistol a couple years ago and shot Pyodex through it and when it did fire it was...

    Black Powder questions

    Thank you for your info Paul. I was just checking in the accs. Forum and it looks like I can answer most of my questions there. Sorry, looks like this was the wrong section to post in for Powder, don't spend the time on here I need to.

    Black Powder questions

    I did some searches first and didn't find my answers I was after. I am sure this has been asked before so I apologize if it is redundant. I am looking to order some black powder 5 lbs. for starters. I have heard a lot of Goex and was going to get some FFG for the bore and FFFG for the pan...

    How do I determine value of a flintlock

    I have heard a lot about TVM and or Tennessee Valley Muzzleloaders. I guess one is Jack Garner and the other is Matt or Toni Avance? There are 2 sites. Both below, which one are you all talking about? http://www.tennesseevalleymanufacturing.com/catalog.php?category=tpbriflekit or...
