Yes Obi-Won Connoli, it is far to late. I think my number of black powders is at 7, but I think I loaned one to a nephew to try, and there may be another one tucked back in the corner of the gun room behind the fishing poles.
Gentlemen, to be clear, this is an exercise in gunsmithing. This rifle will not be needed or depended on for hunting or survival. The exercise is to reverse engineer this historical progression of black powder from flintlock to percussion.
And to all you nay sayers out there who think that nobody could use an old percussion plate to make a flintlock plate; are you willing to put money on that?
