My first flintlock

[Dave Markowitz]

Happy birthday and congrats on the new gun. If you have experience with a caplock then going to a flinter isn't a huge leap. Watch the videos from Duelist1954 and Black Powder Maniac Shooter and you'll up and running in no time.

You are going to have to pay close attention to the lock. There's a reason why a lot of us say that when enjoying the art of shooting a flint lock, it's all about the lock.

Expect to put some time and effort into getting reliable performance out of your lock. Try to find an experienced flint lock shooter near you to help with getting your rifle set up and performing at its best.
