My first was a flint handgun but it died because the lock fell off the last time I shot it, Just broke the head off the bolt's and fell off. My rifle is a TVM Iron Pennsylvania rifle in flint. Oh yeah, it's .50 cal.

My big Hawkin, 1 inch across the flats, 34 and 1/4" barrel and a one in sixtysix twist, 50 cal.
With a crucifix(From my daughter) and Luke 22:36 on a gold coin(From my son) and a fancy thing made by my lady to carry it in. Wished I could do Pictures, its just to big to fit. :yakyak:

and this goofy Traditions Kentucky Pistol Kit thing is just a riot, I think I will take it fishing. :winking:

 

[Zonie]

9 Home made Pennsylvanias both flint and precussion in .36 to .54 cal.
3 Enfields (Parker-Hale 2 band, 3 band and Musketoon) plus a Armi Zouave.
Restocked .50 TC Hawken
Pedersoli Tryon .45
Lyman GPR .50
Home made .40 Schuetzen

I try to shoot them all at least once a year but I do most of my shooting witht the TC or my newly aquired GPR to save some wear and tare on the homebuilt guns.
Now you know why poor ole Zonie looks so tired all the time. :rotf:

[Johnny Tremain]

Thanks for the responses guys. My reasoning for this post was to show that when I see flintlockers, percussion,smoothbore and pistol shooters on this forum act like the other persons ignition system is inferior, it looks as though many shoot varied systems and were all alike.

 

[Zonie]

I believe most of the Flintlock/Percussion/Rifles/Smoothbores/Pistol comments are usually just good natured ribbing.
In fact I would be willing to bet (if I were a betting man) that every member on this Forum would be more than happy to shoot any and all of them and that includes all of the pre-Flint guns like the Wheellocks and matchlocks.
Hel*, I believe everyone here would skip having their favorate pie for the opportunity to shoot a Cannon! (well, maybe one piece of it anyway.) :grin:
