RMC flintlocks?

[middletownbob]

I currently own one and with the right combo of BP and bullet it is deadly out to 100 yards. You can compare it with the T/C FireStorm which both rifles were designed for the PA flintlock season in mind..But I think more importantly it does get those inline shooters to cross over to a more traditional sidelock even though the Accusporter has all the advantages of an inline but with flintlock ignition. The rifle is made in the USA and currently there are no made in the USA production flintlock or even percussion BP rifles being sold so it is hard for me to have a hard criticism of it..Middletownbob

Wow,

Did I say Wow yet???

That is ugly and horrid. Butt ugly, lock ugly and fore-end ugly.

Flinter in 1 in 28 twist. Talk about ridiculous.

It would look right at home in the back of a Ford Pinto or AMC Gremlin on the way to the range...

Please do muzzleloading a favor and don't buy it.

Come on, tell us what you really feel about it. :haha:
But, I agree.

I suppose I did react rather viscerally to it....
It was very late at night.

Your reaction was from the heart, so no excuses are necessary. Honestly, it was spot on! :hatsoff:

TC's Firestorm was a sidelock for the inline shooters. It was designed with an easily removable breech plug, coned breech for use with Pyrocrap pellets, and a plastic stock. I bought one, like new, for $100 from a guy who couldn't make it fire reliably. It had a wad of waxy crud around the cone of the breech plug. :shake: I cleaned it, removed the cone by grinding, and it was reliable as any flinchrock could be(with real BP). It became trade bait for something that I really wanted. :blah:

Back on topic, your couldn't GIVE me one of those butt ugly RMCs. :barf:

My .52 flinter Renegade has not quite one turn for the barrel, thank you kindly.

drove one of those to my senior prom in 1975!

I never owned an ugly accurate firearm. LOL

Mine is 1/28 twist and although it will shoot ball it does it very best with bullets. Over the years I have become strictly a ball shooter and see no need to go back to my experimenting with other projectiles days. The RMC will probably move on someday but it's still here ready and able to get the job done if called on.

 

[reddogge]

Is that known as a Khyber Pass rifle?

 

[Walks with fire]

As far as I know Kyber Pass rifles are rifles built in cottage industry with sometimes poor materials. RMC is not that. It uses very good materials and function and handling qualities are very good. It's design is poor in my opinion though and feel it is as safe as any other flintlock.

It's not a traditional look by any means. I feel it was an attempt to function as a legal for PA rifle to fire projectiles normally used for inline rifles which are now legal in flintlock season. Made in Pa.
