Hey folks! New here and I could use some pro info please from people who know!
I recently aquired a flintlock rifle that I've been trying to figure out. I dont know flintlocks at all. It has all the physical aspects of a Springfield 1816, no rifling, and no markings at all, exept for a date (1817) on the top of the butt plate. I've done some reading about these and dont see that they came in anything other than .69 cal. but my micrometer reads .713?? Does anyone know about these?
Thanks !!!
