I’m so envious, I purchased a half stock flinter for the same price, yours is far ornate. Good find!

October Country has pushing up daisy patches that worked well for me, they come dry or lubed.

Hazmat fees my make it not profitable Enough to ship☹️

I don’t have any one locally to buy flints from, so I have to rely on the internet. Found some English and French flints (so they claim). They did posted pictures that represented pretty well of what I received.

The only issue I’ve had is in the winter it gets hard. I had to knead the tube to soften it up

Was it a side lock? Pellets are not designed to be used in traditional muzzleloaders. They ignite from the inside out that is why there’s a hole down the middle. The heat from the cap or primer travels through the center causing it to burn from the inside out.

Shot about 75 rounds out of Pyrodex pellets out of my ROA Sunday, it shot fine with no problems. I like the ease of loading, I can get off more shots off during range time. I do though like the feel and sound of black powder better

I had some old percussion caps that did not work, so I cut some roll cap to fit. I placed two cap in each and they worked well

That would make a great lining for a bag

I was told that civil war reenactors could not use ram rods for that very reason

I bought a pan primer, it doesn’t work very well with 3f so I use a small flask used for pistols filled with 3f

Hot tap water, dawn dish soap followed by Blue Thunder dry patches then lubricant patches works for me. No rust, clean bore and shoots great

I can go through 50 caps easy per range visit

I picked up a nice 54 cal flinter from them it was an Investarms Gemmer Hawkens

I use 50 grains of 3f Goex in both my .50 & .54 rifles, it shoots great. I also us it to prime the .54 flinter.

Won this on an online auction, the description only stated that it was Italian made. Shot it once still needs lots of work

Welcome to the forum, I to live in Northern CA I do most my shooting at Dillon range in Lincoln. My neighbors would not be to happy if I were to shoot in my backyard 😂

I’ve also tried obsidian, I couldn’t get it to spark consistently enough to make it worthwhile. Maybe it was just me.😕
