This might be fun.
Here are the rules:
You can have ONLY one. No “also”, or “or”, or “plus”, or “and”, nothing additional just one. No, depends on the situation or circumstances.

Your favorite flintlock.
Your favorite load.
Your favorite cleaning method, and
your favorite place.

Don’t break the rules just one and only one of each item.
Remember there are no right or wrong answers just what would be your choice.

My favorite flintlock is Chambers Round-Faced English Flintlock.

My favorite load is 80 2F, .015 pillow ticking, .600 ball in a smoothbore I built 20 years ago.

My favorite cleaning method is swab with water & dish soap. Wipe til dry then a quick shot of WD40.

My favorite place is Awesome Island. It's a small island with a nice sandy beach on the lake I live on. BTW, my children dubbed it Awesome Island. It has no name and is owned by the lake property owners association where I reside.
