What's up from North Dakota

[Ryan Schmitz]

Hey folks,
Just thought I say hi for the first time. I've been shooting a T/C Hawken .50 percussion for about seven years now and an Austin/Halleck .50 flintlock mountain rifle for about two. Can't get the flinter to spark very good but that's for another topic!!

:hatsoff: Welcome to the forum. New to flintlocks myself but I guarantee you there's a lot of folks here that can get you fixed up with your flinter problems.

 

[Ryan Schmitz]

Howdy Trapper. Welcome aboard! :hatsoff:

I have an Austin & Halleck flinter myself. It was my first, and so far only, flinter. It sparks great. Give us a post over in the flintlock section and we'll see if we can't get yours sparking as good as mine does. :thumbsup:

Welcome to the forum. Just post your problem over on the Flintlock thread and I'll bet you will get all kinds of suggestions. You have a couple of good rifles; I had an A-H flinter for 6 years and no problems at all. Sold it because I got a left hand flinter built by a friend. Emery

welcome Madtrapper!

pull up a stump and check the articles and flintlock forum. You can either use the search feature or just peruse the posts on the forum.

Or just ask I guess too!

Welcome to the Forum. I'm a ol Fargo boy myself. Graduated back in 69, did a couple of tours in RVN and moved out here to Oregon. I've got a flinter myself and there was a learning curve but I think, and that's where my wife says I get in trouble alot,that I've got most of the bugs worked out. Anyway, welcome once again.

Hello, Ryan. Good to hear from you. I lived at Cayuga for 10 years. Knew the folks at Crandalls Fur House, they were a major fur buyer, but that was 1966-76, don't know if they are still in business. Lots of flintlock help in that section.

Welcome-I've got relatives up your way, good to see some people stay in N.Dak.

welcome,

I lived up in Crosby for a couple of years and then moved west to MT and then further west to AK. I enjoyed my time out on the short grass prairie.
