Keep in mind Flintlocks were in continuous use for approx. 500 years before being superseded by craplocks.

Dear David. I wrote' Less can be more' nothing Orwellian about that . Flint locks do have' hammers' but today people call them' frizzens ' If I was thinking more of pin & central fires . My battery includes some percussion guns . most are earlier & true of my production since when I started percussion was available If flint locks less so . Must confess I do like my matchlocks appeals to my Yorkshire thrift .
Regards Rudyard

Love my flintlocks and caplocks, even have an *gasp* inline...
Want snobbery? Get a kayak. If it doesn't cost $2000 you are an amature.

oh boy how can you drink IRON CITY?? must have picked it up for scrap??
Seen Rudyard shoot driven clays at Owlerbar with his String Burner. Much quicker than my Flint gun. And that was always seen as fast. No click fizz ---bang with a string burner, Just a Red Hot End stuffed into an area of Black and it's gone !!! Happy memories of the Paycock.(Where tenants paid their rent in the long gone past). Had never shot a Fast flint gun until I was asked to shoot an Estate gun at Grey Partridge about 50 years ago. A 1826 "V" MANTON. (one of a cased pair) That was as fast as my best cap gun. I can still usually hit High pesants at 40 odd yards with 2 3/4drms of Swiss 2 & 1 1/4 oz of 6's . What will this season bring? Dare we order Day olds for now or poltes for July ?? AND do we trust our Nearest and Dearest Survive the BUG..Feeling VERY OLD DOG..

Those are various mixtures of patch lube. You know.. like boiled oil of a newts liver and strained saliva of red barn bobcats. The real authentic stuff
