Well, folks, believe it or not, I finally have received a case of the revised book Flintlocks - a Practical Guide for their Use and Appreciation. Wonders never cease! This whole process took almost a year longer than anticipated. I'm told that there wasn't enough glossy paper in the supply chain, and the printer was working short-handed for several months. In any case, books are now available from the NMLRA (PO Box 67, Friendship, IN 47021; $29.95 plus shipping).
If you would like an autographed copy I will be happy to oblige. A check or money order for $40 sent to me will get you a copy by priority mail and insurance. (The price of the book is the same as when the first edition came out a dozen years ago, but postage rates have increased. International orders will require more postage.) Here's my address: Eric A. Bye, PO Box 384, North Springfield, VT 05150.
Several people have asked how different the second edition is from the first. I believe the second edition is a bit more neat and complete. I estimate that the new material amounts to about 10%, and a number of corrections are now in place. (These are not factual or substantive changes - most were typos and some mistaken page references that sneaked into the first edition.)
Of course anyone with questions about the new book is welcome to send me a personal message and I'll answer promptly.
Many thanks in advance. May all your shots hit center.
