Mauser that' s cool! Its an addicting sport that' s for sure, now all you need is a crew of nutty guys like yourself who like to chase em' around after Christmas when the snow flies. We have a cabin in Clinton Co. and a group of us stays there for the week after X-Mas and we have a ball driving deer. WE usually all get shooting, and most take home a deer.
I love Flintlock hunting myself, and am really eyeing up a traditional PA Longrifle or English Fowler to get back to the roots of it..........at around $1000+ for a good one it' s gonna be an investment![]

A tip for you.......if you treat the gun with bore butter after you are done cleaning, before you fire your first round, run a few dry patches thru the bore to remove most of it.
Also when I sight in seriously, I run a solvent patch or 2 after EVERY shot.......then dry with clean patches before the next shot. Don' t get lazy with the sighting in process.
Also, keep that touch-hole clear after each shot (T/C makes a nice little $2 touch-hole pick that is ribbed), and don' t overfill your flash pan.......you want a fire not a fuse into the touch-hole.
I actually take a paperclip and when I am ready to fire, stick the clip into the touch-hole creating a channel for the fire to hit more surface area of the powder charge.

Get that CRC " Electric Contact Cleaner" ....Auto-Zone $3 Spray a cleaning patch and wipe your frizzen and flint after every shot and dry. You' ll get a more consistent spark.

Ok all for now! Enjoy the new toy!
