I've come to the conclusion that flints are not for me. Looked like fun, but I just don't have the time, and wife ain't gonna give it to me.

I mean, i hit the target each time, but it just is not for me. Did well with my percussion though....
And that would be your opinion. Have you ever owned one or tried one out? Or are you getting your vast experience from internet heresay?This is not a good flintlock

I disagree with that.I have one that is built with a barrell that way.I think ignition is firstly to do with the Lock quality and secondly with the touchole size and weather it's coned or not.The Breach end of these guns has nothing to do with it.I'd put my Deerstalker up against any flintlock as far as ignition speed goes.paulvallandigham said:When you bought that gun, did the material tell you that it had a recessed powder chamber, smaller than the diameter of the bore??? Did they tell what the dimension of the powder chamber is? Did they tell you that you have to use FFFg powder and then slap the gun on the side of the lock several times to make powder drop down a very small entrance hole into the powder chamber, and then into the flashchannel that leads from the Touch hole to the center of the rear of the powder chamber? Obviously, the length of that flashchannel varies depending on the diameter of the bore of your gun. All affect getting the gun to go off quickly, and reliably.
