The New Flinter - pic

[mglampson]

I posted last week about the new flintlock I bought (my first) and many wanted to see a picture. Well I finally got the chance to shoot today and had a REAL good time with it. Got a pic and decided to try posting it here. Hope it works.

She's a .54 cal with a swamped 42" barrel, Chambers Siler lock and Davis double set triggers. Very windy here today with a storm brewing so I settled for plinking rather than any serious range work. So far she looks to be a very straight shooter! It was made by a local fella named Jack Patterson. He makes alot of rifles and they are very popular in these parts. The son and wife both shot with me and all had no trouble hitting what was aimed at. Flint will take a little getting used to but oh the fun of learning a new rifle don't ya think. ::

 

Looks and sounds great, would love to see bigger pic of her and does this builder have a web site?
