All good here thank you. Hope everything is good with you too. Regards Simon

Hi from England

Don’t build it the same though. Lol. You may note that, although it has a lock on the right, it was built for a left hander, with the cheek piece on the same side as the lock

Couple of photos of an early original , for reference.

You first need to find the actual caliber of the gun. Then choose a couple of different sized balls. Get some patching material. The most usual sizes at 15 and 20 thou. Start shooting at about 40 grains 2f or 3f go up in 5 grain increments. Bigger ball, smaller patch. Smaller ball bigger patch...

Welcome from England

Looking for a reasonably priced French 1728 pattern, flintlock lock. Indian made, not a problem. Can be a later lock, but not as late as the 1777. It’s for a project. Bear in mind you’d be shipping to England, when working out postal costs. Thank you

My prayers and best wishes to you and your wife. Hang on in there. Simon

Every one of my rifles, might be able to do that. Problem is, I can’t. They’re all much more accurate than my eyes are. Lol

Only the patch needs to be lubed. As far as what to use as a lube, you’re about to get about 200 different answers. All of which will be the best lube ever! I’ll start by saying I use neat Murphy oil soap. Keeps fouling soft and I don’t need to clean between shots

Not wanting to bore everyone with my Jaeger again. I’ll go for this one by H Nock

That’s because, being a top notch pistol, it would have a platinum liner

Thank you

Yes. It is for a left handed shooter. The sliding patch box is on the other side

Thank you Cowboy. If you look carefully, you will see that the cheek piece is on the same side as the lock, therefore for a left handed shooter. The sliding patch box is on the other side

Thank you

This is mine. A 300 year old Jaeger rifle

I believe so. I don’t believe many brands have changed over yet

Most definitely do, though some companies in England are now switching to a plant based bag

Most tea bags, especially the older ones, have plastic in them. Wouldn’t think they’d be good for nitrated cartridges
