First Flintlocks!!!!

[mtcurman]

Hooray! My brother and I have been wanting flintlocks since we could say "flintlock",and today we got our wish!! :thumbsup: I got a .62 Fusil De Chasse with a 44" barrel,and Nash got a .54 Isaac Haines(?)style with a 38" barrel. Both are in-the-white,but mine has a little linseed oil on it. I only have pics of mine right now,but I'll get some of Nash's up soon.
Lemme know what you think!!

Sorry for the crummy pics! :shake:
Thanks for lookin'!

Ben,

Beautiful smoke pole!

I think most of us feel your excitement and joy. It’s great to see a new generation finding the love of traditional firearms.

Thanks for sharing and let us know how she shoots.

Nice, now go burn some powder! :thumbsup:

 

[mtcurman]

I appreciate all the kind comments guys! :thumbsup: Unfortunatly,we ain't supposed to shoot them until they're finished because the stocks will get crud on them and won't take stain as well. Oh well,they'll be finished soon! :thumbsup:

:hmm: I test fired my 1792 before finishing it, came out just fine.
