Well said. tooling around with this gun has made me appreciate the men who had to war and hunt with these weapons immensely! Part of the reason why I wanted a flintlock is so the skill of loading and firing such an important peice of history, is not lost on my generation. and can be passed on...

Good, I dont rally plan on breaking 90gr very often if I wanted muzzle velocity I would be shooting a 22/250. This rifle is going to be shot for the pure enjoyment of the delay and large amount of smoke. If I hit what I'm aiming at thats icing on the cake.

Thanks, Its not often I get to tinker around with gun powder. so far blaks are a blast, now I need to see what i can do at the range. I have a feeling adding lead will change things.

Apparently, there have been some major issues with CVA inlines. Has anybody suffered a failure from there sidelock line? I kind of enjoy having my hand and face in tact.

To answer my own questions I've done it all. I resurfaced the damaged frizzen and did my best to reharden it. It throws plenty of spark, hot, and into the pan. I purchased a traditions frizzen just to see if its possible to swap parts. I have also finally been able to contact CVA and ordered the...

Thanks again, there cheap its worth a shot!

Hello fellas, Its me again the rookie with the project gun. It seems CVA has shifted gears and does not sell traditional sidelocks any more, at least thats my impression from looking at there website. Y'all have helped me out so far so here I go again. I have spent hours looking for a new...

I flipped the flint and wow what a difference.

Hot Damn! You guys are smart. thanks again. At least now I can make sure my flint is working correctly before I head out to the range. Assault weapons forums were never this cool!

I'll give the flint a flip and hope for the best. I need to buy some ffff powder. right now all I have is goex 2f and it does not seem to work well as a pan powder. I've been tooling around with this gun for two days now and am very excited to shoot it. although powder is a pain to get here in...

Wow, You must have E.S.P.. That is exactly what I was thinking. I really love the forum, It has already answered alot of the basics. I'm looking forward to taking full advantage of all the info you guys are willing to provide.

The best way to describe the etching, is a few shallow horizontal scratches cut across the frizzen. They look like they may have been put there with a dremmel tool.

I have not found a good way to keep a sharp edge on my flint. If you read my other post you'll find out why. I would like to know some of your tricks as to avoid the learning curve.

I recently bought my first blackpowder rifle, A used CVA plainsman. I noticed that the frizzen had been etched by the previous owner. I assume to create more spark.Will this dull my flints to fast? should I replace the frizzen? thanks Matt
