Well this is going to be exciting to say the least.. That pan will flash and you will never see it.. Good luck.

Chap, thanks for the tip. I have never heard of that one before. I am positive this is going to be an adventure I am going to enjoy immensely. I am in the process of ordering all of the stuff I will need for the flinter.

I am going to try some Swiss 2f for the main charge and some Goex 4f for the pan charge. What kind of pan chargers do y'all use?

I use Goex 4f in the pan. I shoot 3f 80 of goex in my FL. I just bought a CVA sidelock, that is 54cal (also has a 50 barrel)so I am going to shoot that, then if it shoots RB well, I am going to buy a new R&L lock or siler lock and convert the barrel to FL. Chap

VERY NICE!!!!!! That is beautiful. I can not wait to hear about your first experience with it. What are your impressions of the over all quality of the rifle?

I love Renegades and GPR and I have two Hawkens, but they work well. Chap
