Thanks for the heads up! Just finished watching it. I think I saw a few percussion locks in there, but I didn't back up and pause it so I could be 'that guy'.
Looks like I'll be watching a few more of this series.

Yes, a cap lock was in there and all the flintlocks were firing with the frizzen opened. (At least they weren’t “modified” Trapdoor Springfields LOL) I just look beyond those predictable issues and enjoy the film in the bigger picture. It’s a pretty good productions in that regard.

Yep, saw the kerosene lamp at Fort Boonesboro, I just figured they were made by Mr. Dietz who was a settler there. Good show though.

Well....it doesn't get high marks for authenticity. So far I have seen a rifle with a percussion hammer, a Sharps and now the Stars and Bars being raised - in the 18th century!! John Wayne movies often featured firearms that had not been invented yet but this flick desperately needed a technical advisor, Or one of us.
