nice buck!!!!!!!

i would "guess" that smoothbores outnumbered the rifles. buck and ball usually denotes what they would have at that time.

great buy!!!!! what caliber is it?

looking back over 35+ years, i should have. :doh:

thats a great shooting technique!!!!! i am a left handed shooter. when i was 13yo, my dad got me a right handed flintlock in tc hawkins. i closed my eyes for the flash for 2 years until i got a left hand fl in lyman deerstalker. it took me about a year to keep my eyes open.

neither do i. i have 10 roundball patches that are impregnated with sno seal. next time i go to the shop, i will shoot them.

😂 😂 😂 thats good!!!! i got 5 or 6oz of the stuff that was made in late 90s!!!!

i got about a full can of sno seal that i bought years ago. i've been wondering what to do with it(other than leather boots) and i wondered if it take patches? i know that you can use mink oil, but what about beeswax(sno seal)?

i buy my flints online, i buy them by the dozen http://heritage-products.com/

you have a very nice looking rifle, big bubba.

the US Army used to place a quarter on the barrel and then dry fire it(m16a2). if it fell off the barrel, you "jerked" the trigger. i think(it was 30 years ago). if it stayed on the barrel(10 times), you were good to go. on unmentionables, i had a timney trigger on my(now oldest son's...

i had two of the left hand fl in lyman deerstalker in 50 cal. i sold them this year. i have a left hand fl cva hawkens in 50 cal. i bought it an a auction two years ago for $125. it had a rusty inside barrel that i cleaned out with a bronze brush and ballistol. i use rmc fiber optic sights, not...

i am disabled(stroke has right arm/leg unworkable) and i use a primos bipod and bog pod tripod. try one.

i've owned a flintlock since was 13 or 14 yo. i killed quite a few deer too. i had a right hand fl lyman deerstalker, but i'm a leftie. sold it, got another but left handed. sold it, got another. sold it and now got a left hand fl cva hawkens in 50 cal. i would like to build a kit, but money is...

well done!!!!! i got cva hawkens from auction and it had a rusty barrel. i think i paid $100-125 for it two years ago and all it need was bronze brush and ballistol.

i use very hot(almost boiled) water and sliver of dove soap or dove/dawn liquid detergent. then i'll use ballistol. i have been doing this for 30+ years, Keep It Simple Stupid, is what i always say. 😂😂😂

sorry for your loss. its sounds as if you got great gun!!!!!!

i always wanted a fl in a small caliber so i could menace the tree rats, but i never did. you have a beautiful rifle.

hey, i have had them, 2 and 4f. it was about 2 or 3 years ago that i emptied them out(while ML). i don't shoot bp much, but i have 2 1/2+/- lb of 2f and 3/4+/- lb of 4f. i used pyrodex pellets while i was shooting my inline(15+ years years ago), but it was like using a centerfire rifle. last...

I have a lyman deerstalker left hand fl in 50 cal (i might sell it) and a cva hawkens left hand fl in 50 cal that i just bought in a auction in October. i was going to go with tc maxiballs, which it does shoot(90 and 100gr ffg will go about 1 - 1 1/2" at 100 yards, 5 shoots/benched). but i...
