I have a Traditions Woodsman Hawkins that is flintlock. And I have to tell you, that has one of the fastest lock times I have ever shot. Just a real good shooter. I should try some sabots out of it as it is a 1-48 twist. Plucket would be in hog heaven with a nice flintlock in 50 caliber like that for his collection. But I don't want to say he needs a flintlock. Because even though he needs a flintlock. I would never say.. he needs a flintlock.
