Very nice. Will you post a picture of the rifle too, when he's finished? Thanks Absolutely. It will probably be a couple weeks. Dad's just getting over covid.

Pretty cool. I really like beads and other shiny things. So do you guys really get all dressed up in this period specific gear to hunt? Not teasing, I just didn’t realize this was happening. Do you act the period to, like common words, phrases or accents? Ever run across someone else in the woods? How did they respond? Some times I do and some times I don't. Other people look at you funny or make dumb comments. I had a drunk in a bar (where I was registering a turkey) ask if I was Amish. Here's a pic of the largest tom I've shot while hunting "period". In this case, this is about the year 1780, somewhere in the Ohio River country. Here's the biggest buck I've shot with a flintlock rifle. It was cold that year and I didn't have the clothing necessary to dress period and stay warm.

Thanks for posting. I’ve never shot a flintlock but love a good musket. Shot my best mule deer with dads 54 cal. I own a inline but have never shot it.
Do you know the average delay from when the trigger is pulled to ignition of powder? Just curious

Do you know the average delay from when the trigger is pulled to ignition of powder? Just curious The delay is very, very short. I do notice it when I switch back to shooting centerfire. When I am shooting flinters, I don't notice the delay, unless something goes wrong. Damp priming powder, a partially blocked touch hole, poor spark can all contribute to delayed ignition. What is your definition of musket? In the period, muskets are typically flintlock (later ones are caplock) smoothbores used primarily by the military. Most are large in caliber, think 69 and up. My dad has an awesome Dutch musket replica, like the ones the States purchased during the revolution. It's 80 caliber, shoots a 0.750 inch round ball with 100 grains powder. That packs a wallop. And the bayonet looks sweet.

The long delay in some guns is usually over priming the pan or a long narrow touch hole. If you pile too much priming in the pan, it has to burn to the bottom. the idea is to get a quick hot flash into the barrel-not a slow fuse. I have shot flintlocks with a White Lightning touch hole liner that were very fast.
