    How do you prime?

    Yes, thanks. I had to call but they did have them in stock. I hope it works better than the plunger style. It alway jams up on 4F.

    Beware GunBroker Sales

    I was not made aware of a checkout system and dealt directly with the buyer as I have done many times before. If GB was supposed to collect the tax from the buyer it did not.

    Beware GunBroker Sales

    I open this thread only to alert the forum of a problem with GunBroker. I was just charged sales tax as a seller on a $3,000 rifle. Although GB has all the information for both buyer and seller it chose the seller to charge the sales tax. Multiple contacts with customer service did not remedy he...

    My first flintlock is completed

    You are not going to shoot that beautiful musket are you?

    Dirty .45.

    Just wondering: Are muzzle loaders legal in England where the firearm laws are troublesome?

    Flint won't spark

    Thanks. Yes, I enlarged my flint to 1" x 1-⅛". It fits better and reaches the frizzen at the proper height.

    I'm good now. I've got my original frizzen to spark. Don't need a replacement. Thanks.

    Probably not but I wanted to know what it was worth. Sorry to offend.

    Flint won't spark

    As a follow up to this thread I've finally got my frizzen to spark. A friend had some of the old compound and hardened it for me. I also bought a slightly larger flint and took it shooting yesterday. And to my surprise 3 of the 5 shots hit the target. ;) What a thrill shooting a 205 year old...

    Black Powder Tester Eprouvette

    Well, seems like a good offer ,however, the item was given to me by a good friend for my birthday and it wouldn't be proper for me to sell it. But thanks for the offer.

    Flint won't spark

    Shouldn't I be able to get a spark by striking my flint against a file or a hacksaw blade?

    Flint won't spark

    Having said the above I'm still having a time getting a spark. Could be my flints. I've tried from two batches and no luck. Shouldn't I be able to get a spark by striking my flint against a file or a hacksaw blade?

    Responding to Scota: I appreciate your thoughts and I would never destroy the value of the musket but all the fun in muzzle loading is in the fun you can have in firing an authentic 200 year old civil war musket.

    Flint won't spark

    Yes, they confirmed that the frizzen was too soft and suggested I replace it or harden it. I don't want to bugger up the original so I'll try replacing it first.

    Flint won't spark

    Thanks for all of your replies, Guys. I think before I try to harden my frizzen I will try to replace it with an original or reproduction. I've tried Dixie, S&S, and TOTW for a replacement with no luck. Anyone have any other ideas on who might have one?
