Finally a Flintlock flush kit that really works

Ah, the trials and tribulations of raging success claims another victim.

Congrats!

Don't get me wrong, I love the flush tube. But, @davec2 makes so many nicer and fancier items, I can totally understand him needing a break from flush tube assembly. It does seem like his talent is kind of wasted on these.

I wonder what someone would pay for one of these with his masterful engraving on the brass parts?

Ok.....since Hatchet Jack posted his note on the magnetic flush tube, I have had to make and send out more than 25 of them !!! To those of you who bought them, do me a favor for a while and, if you like it, keep it to yourself. If you don't like it, post something here ...........I need a rest !

Okay, Dave's magnetic flush tubes don't seal well on round barrels. Dave's flush tubes may not seal the touch hole liners with a screw slot. If the touch hole liner is not perfectly flat with the surface of the barrel, it may not seal.

Hope this helps, Dave. I use my magnetic flush tube only in those applications that I know will seal.

I pull the lock and lay the vent over a crappy old towel (decided with THE ADMIRAL's blessing) and have at it. No tubes or gaskets needed. Consider what was used in the 1780's?

I use the clamp on style of flush tube. It's finicky and does leak some, but I just rest the gun on sandbags upside down so any leakage drips off the barrel onto an old towel instead of seeping down into the stock. Not that big a deal really!
