T Take it out and file off the excess and no more. You should be fine.

Thank you very much. Very helpful and interesting.

I took this gun in on trade a few years ago and have done nothing with it. The story that came with the musket is that that Tower of London commissioned 500 of them. This is number 221. I don't know what company built them but it is quality work. I don't think it's ever been fired. The 23rd...

If the pan flashed and the vent is clear, the rifle should fire. I believe those rifles have a recessed breech. Try cleaning the breech.

T Thank you for watching. It was fun while it lasted.

S Static electricity will not ignite black powder. Larry Pletcher did testing a number of years ago and there is a video somewhere. He did articles for Black Powder magazine.

What state do you live in?

I saw a beautiful Netting fowler blow up last summer. The barrel I believe was nuclear grade hydraulic tubing. Years ago I watched an inch and a quarter across the flats barrel bulge after firing a short started ball. His stupid display was not only misleading, it was irresponsible and dangerous.

"Beware of the man who shoots one gun" try concentrating on one rifle.

I think he's a danger to the sport!

Nice bear!

It's probably done to get around the need to get a gun manufacturers license. Even Kibler sells his locks separate from the kit.

No, it's not common. He had terrible ignition problems. You can see the powder flying out of the pan before ignition. Cool video though.
