I bought a flintlock once, a Pedersoli .38 squirrel rifle. I thought my life would be complete.
I now know why they always show mountain men in paintings with 2 horses. It takes the second horse to carry everything needed to keep a flint lock running. There is a good reason why percussion caps were invented.
Shooting a flinter is way beyond my capabilities.
I was truly pleased when a young man came along and wanted it more than I.
