    Any insight on a flinter for deer hunting?

    I've shot two whitetails here in PA with my .54 flinter. I love hunting with it and it does a great job on deer two. Both were short recoveries. You just have to practice and become proficient with it. Plus it opens up more hunting opportunities, at least in this state. With proper care and...

    I take my touch hole out every time I clean my flintlock. Never had a problem with it.

    I would be worried about getting stuff in my eyes myself.

    Right, and I agree with you completely. I would expect the same. I was just saying that if you put it out there people will take it.

    Powder granulation?

    I use FFg in my .54 with PRB's.

    Dedicated to all the hunters with black powder

    Seems rather simple to me. If you don't want your picture being used for something other than what you intended, don't post it on the internet. Now, that doesn't mean it is right, just the way it is.

    lyman .54 flintlock question

    I drilled the touch hole out to 5/64" on my Lyman lock and it has been very reliable. Good luck with your gun.

    Gap Between Lock and Stock

    I should not have replied in the manner I did, and I apologize. Was just a little bit put off by the tone of the reply I suppose. Anyhow, yeah there is a gap between the pan and the wood and pan powder gets back behind the lock creating a dangerous situation. Just want to get this situation...

    I'm not a gunsmith just asking a question...jimminy crickets! Why would I ask the question if I knew the answer to those?

    Could it be done without taking the lock apart?

    Gap Between Lock and Stock

    I have a small gap between my lock and stock on my Lyman GPR .54 flint. It was put together from a kit about four years ago or so. What can I do to correct this?

    Lyman GPR lock

    The lock is ok, but so far I have drilled the touch hole out to 5/64" and added the Davis Deerslayer triggers. What a major upgrade the triggers are. The ignition is also very good now.

    .54 FFg or FFFg

    All I shoot out of my .54 GPR is FFg Goex. Usually 80 grains under a PRB.

    Rainy day Flintlock Hunting

    I wouldn't worry about it. Take it apart when you're done hunting for the day and dry and clean it good. As for the lock a cows knee or some of other type of cover should help some. Change priming powder often. They make a product called dry powder. Never used it, but have some.

    Roundball hunting

    Also forgot to mention both left real good blood trails. They were a little sparse at first, but after a short distance they became quite easy to follow.
