Hi everyone,
I've almost have the swamped barrel inletted into my slab-o-maple and will get started on the ramrod hole and channel next week. Here are my questions: Is it common for ramrods to work themselves loose while transporting the rifle? If I have a straight continuous hole and channel what will keep the ramrods from falling out? Or is this really a problem?
I have never held much less built or shot a flintlock rifle so you can see I have no experience in this area. I'll post some photos of the build so far as soon as my premium membership goes through. Tom
