RE: New to me Flintlock
Hey Sabot - that is a nice piece you picked up there. I'm sure you will have fun with it. The thing with flinters that a lot of inexperienced people do is overfill the pan. This creates a 'fuse' effect..... and causes that Pffffft...boom you hear so much about. Just enough FFFFg to cover the bottom of the pan is usually enough. Oh yeah, before you go out, wipe your frizzen off with alcohol or some other degreaser to get any oil off of it.
BTW - nice turkey. My season starts on Saturday. Can't wait.
