    Lyman GPR Flash Pan

    I have just completed a Lyman GPR kit and I have noticed that the flints strike the pan on the outside edge. This happens with 5/8 and 3/4 flints.

I have found that a cotton swab to be the way to go for pumping water in and out of the barrel, I don't plug the touch hole so the water moves through the touch hole cleaning it as well. Now here comes the...

    Pillow ticking for patches

    pillow ticking is all I ever use. I always rinse my ticking in plain water (no soap), and then air dry.

    How many flint pistol shooters do we have here?

    I built a traditions ky. flintlock last year, I have put a brass plate on the side opposite the lock engraved it "scattering balls". It was fun to build and fun to shoot I just hope where ever the bullets hit there was no damage done.
