Just Bought Another One

Just bought another Flint pistol . This is a Yazel 32 cal. Can't wait to compare it with my Lewis.

Have you seen the latest issue of Muzzle Blasts? They had a muzzle loader based on the 1911. I think yours are prettier though.

Nice grips. Kind'a remind me of my my Browning Medalist's.
32 you say. Should be fun poking holes with that new one. Good purchase Sir.

Very nice! I hope you'll post a range report on it!

Curiousity has the best of me - do they make their own frames for these or do they utilize somebody's frame and go from there?

Also . . . since the touch hole is so far forward from the breech end of the barrel . . . how do they design it as far as the breech plug? Is it just an extra long threaded plug?

She's a beauty . . . no one can argue with that! Congrats on your "new one"!

Yes, sort of.
The breech plug is right behind the touch hole just like normal flintlocks. The "barrel" behind the breech plug is overbored and just acts as a dummy barrel extension for the rear sight. The thing in back is just a threaded cap to keep from having a big open hole in the rear.

Thanks for the info. I haven't got it yet so I didn't know. Will be here today
Friday. Can't wait to have them side by side.
