"When you look at the pains the english went thru with vent liners, patent breeches, reccessed breeches, all kinds of "tricked out" lock work, I'd say they weren't happy with the performance of a hole drilled in the side of a barrel. Of course, those english fellows were pretty concerned with hitting feathered creatures flying thru the air at a high rate of speed too."
Yes there were many variations, but overall I think we tend to overdo the quick ignition thing when compared to the average original guns, I personaly just find it more interesting to try and duplicate the configuration of the type of gun I am[url] useing...plain[/url] hole...5/64 or so, maybe not as fast but more like what was used in the past, and to me a bit more of a challenge and more interesting, I have never had much interest in "the better mousetrap"
