Lure of the Flintlock
04/03/18 03:52 AM

I enjoy all kinds of guns which has been hard on my pocketbook. I've been shooting and hunting with percussion guns for nearly 40 years. I stayed away from flintlocks probably because I bought the story that they are finicky and unreliable.

A few years ago I decided to get a flintlock. There is nothing to compare with the challenge of shooting one well with that pan going off next to your face. I have found them to be extremely reliable if one really takes the time to learn their care and feeding.

Now my other guns get much less use. I'm getting my reproduction flint 11 gauge smoothbore ready for spring bear season. Why would a normally rational person with a safe full of modern guns do this?

If you are the sort of person who enjoys the connection between guns and history and likes the challenge of becoming good at something most people haven't a clue about, give the flintlock a try.
