    Will that keep the barrel pin in? I might try lightly tapping the piece under the barrel to bend it slightly as well

    Its almost like Christmas!

    Only issue im having, and you can slightly make it out in the picture, is the rear barrel pin. In the picture you can see the rear pin hole is missing one of the brass screws, I assume this is why my barrel pin isnt locking in place?

    cant seem to find a *&^% Flintlock

    This is pretty much what I decided to do yesterday after reading someones post on the traditionalist forum. I suppose 3f burns fast enough for steady ignition. In yalls opinion is the ignition time between 3f and 4f noticeably different?

    cant seem to find a *&^% Flintlock

    Makes sense, I looked through some of the posts but couldnt find a satisfactory answer, seems to be two camps of people, even found some others talking about the GPR but again it was either 2f or 3f charges with 3f or 4f in the pan. I suppose this means that there is no correct answer?? :confused:

    cant seem to find a *&^% Flintlock

    nah no worries just a newb question, trying to learn the ropes. Trying to learn the ends in outs of flinting. Whats the benefits of shooting with a patch v no path, and if you patch can you shoot smaller balls?

    cant seem to find a *&^% Flintlock

    Are there any good right ups on charges and the progression one should use? Also whats the SOP with using conical style bullets in a rifle with low twist rate? Can you use mini maxis and buffalo ball-ets of sorts but no sabots? ( not that i have any intention of using sabots) or is it strictly...
