And if you get an insect sting or any sort of skin irritation, you can crush up that plantain leaf and rub it on… it’ll fix more than just your shootin’! Amazing stuff.Happiness is a Chambers flintlock on a rainy East Tennessee morning.View attachment 320542
Just plinking offhand at about 30 yards. Homemade flint, 60 grains 3f in main charge and prime from same horn, spit lubed homemade jute tow over powder, home cast .600 round ball and green leaf wad over ball.View attachment 320547

Yip, born 200 years too late!Rang some gongs at the range before it started to snow....yup snow. 30F at the range today. Shot my Frontier flinter.
There is just something about a coonskin cap that improves accuracy, makes more smoke, and just helps make life better.

Wow - looks like you chrome plated that top jawAfter sitting in the shop for over a year I decided to get back to work on the walnut .36 SMR. I had already cleaned up and fitted the furniture, sized the pins, slotted the barrel lugs, and fitted the ram rod. But nothing to the wood, barrel finish, or lock. So I’m starting on the lock. Now there’s no better out of the box lock than a Kibler that I know of. They can certainly be used reliably as received, but their performance can be noticeably improved with proper polishing of the back plate, tumbler bents, and bridle. As for the exterior metal it’s personal preference, but I hate casting lines and marks. I enjoy seeing just how polished I can get the metal, though to high a polish isn’t conducive to some metal treatments. I’m in no hurry, only have the top jaw polished up at this time.
