It works!!

[Goldhunter]

Well, here is an update. I got to come home for four days of leave before heading to "the sandbox" (been in post MOB training stateside since June)

So I asks myself, self, what to do when I get home? Well, shoot that new flinter you built, of course!! There was not way I was going a year without burning some powder.

Guess what, IT WORKS! I'm the proud papa of a functional flintlock. Thanks to all the help that's available on this site. I'd post pics but I didn't bring the data cable for the camera home with me. :shake:

I need to work on the long timing a little when I get back, I'm getting the klatch-boom. Not as bad as I've seen on some, but I want it faster.

Again, thanks for all the help and advice, fellas! :v

Congratulations!!! Try not to go nuts over there thinking about it. You'll probably have it taken apart and put back together a hundred times in your head by the time you get back!

Good luck, Be safe and Thank you for all you're doing.

Hey LT! Welcome home. Good thing you didn't plan on hunting deer, since the tags are gone.

Are you home long enough to pop over to Bridger this weekend?

Take care.
