I hope this is the right forum... I'm headed to NY state this year to hunt gobblers the first 3 days of the season. I am determined to get one in NY with my flinter. Of course, the forecast now is for rain all three days. :cursing: Here at home, I have the luxury of selecting my weather over the course of the season, but with just 3 days in NY (and 1/2 days, at that 'cuz turkey hunting ends at noon) I'm going to have to just make the most of it.
Any tips, for a guy who's never taken his flinter out in the rain? Should I be sealing around the frizzen/pan with mink oil or something... change my priming powder regularly... keep the lock covered (I might have a cows knee somewhere). All advise is welcome.
