The variability of it is one of the problems of the flints: the last month I had one stone that had endured four shots, and at present, my stone is at more than sixty shots without sharpening…

Well, when you know that you use on average 3 grains of 4Fg at each shot: put that in your calculator, and then you'll have the number of possible shots. The only thing left to do is to know how many daily shots you will make. From this extremely scientific calculation (I am a great scientist)...

One more guy in my box of complicated cases...

I don't want to say that you are wrong: I am just stating facts... If Ardesa weapons are good for you that's a fact, but if they are not up to par for me that's also a fact... I own three Pedersoli rifles and five Ardesa/Traditions, just enough to give an opinion. Can you admit that opinions...

The old-grand-dad I am loves Maria... 😍

And what more on Balázs... ? ;)

There is no possible comparison between a Traditions (ex Dikar,/Jukar/Ardesa) gun which are relatively low-cost Spanish-made and an Italian Pedersoli gun which will always be far superior. Even if, on the other hand, an Ardesa/Traditions gun is sufficient to start with, it will be far from being...

Elle est très belle... I am jealous. Is it a real ACME? ;)

To talk about the choice of a first flintlock ready to shoot just out of the box, the simple way could be a Pedersoli, it is a bit more expensive than a Traditions but also a bit higher in quality... The "Frontier" (also called Blue Ridge) could be a good choice for the beginning, with a 7/8"...

There are many ways to treat a cord, but the simplest and certainly the older is this one :

I have more with a Pedersoli Frontier, I have to keep the pan closed, put the powder charge, the patch, and the bullet, lower the bullet, put three grains of 4F in the pan, and .......... boom! I have looked everywhere, changed the hole, looked with the endoscope and all is good, but I still...

This touchhole looks like a Pedersoli but this is not the question. IMHO, and after seeing the pictures, that hole seems to need a little cone to work right, not more...

Wep, it's so, we have the same guys in Absurdistan... :D Just one more word that can maybe serve: the cup of the ramrod is only to measure the powder from the musket cartridge, not the charge. You don't use it in the pistol. I suppose that the men of the time took it for priming or something...

Hello, It is a model 1822-T/Tbis of caliber 17.6mm (T) and 17.7mm (Tbis). Derived from the pistol model 1822, the model 1822T incorporates in its composition a major technological advance for the time, the setting of fire by capsule also called the setting of fire with percussion. This...

About 755 fps, more than enough for this type of weapon at 15 yards... It is not a large amount of powder that will give power and accuracy to this type of weapon. You can (with a Pedersoli) have a 35 grains maximum load, but it won't make any difference: the pistol is made for 15 meters and the...

For Pedersoli, normally and on average: - 27 grains 3Fg. - .675" bullet. - Patch .007 to .010 thick. To be finely adjusted for your pistol. Original (year 1800/1801): .63" round lead bullet (weight: 378 grains), cartridge powder (charge: 116 grains including 15 grains for priming).

Most of the percussion locks are working fine in fact of the simplicity of their building, it's a bit different with the flint locks... Never had a real problem with a percussion lock from Jukar/Dikar/Ardesa/Traditions' (for example) first price brand and no more from Pedersoli. I've had some...

Me too.
