RE: Swabbing Experiment With The Great Plains Flintlock
Side note on this range session: I started with a new Tom Fuller flint from Track of the Wolf. I fired 30 rounds during the range session with that flint and it still looks good. To the GP's credit, I did not have even one flash in the pan. I did have failure to spark severaltimes, twiceit turned out that the flint was a little loose and the jawscrew needed about a half turn to tighten it up. Otherwise, if it failed to spark I justwiped the fouling from the flint and it sparked fine. Gotta` remember to wipe that flint after every two or three shots and check the jaw screw after about six or seven shots.
