On cleaning flintlocks without the patent breech. I bought one of the kits they sell at black powder supply houses. It is no flimsy setup and the o-ring seal keeps all the dirty water away from your wood. I was balking at first but finally caved in and bought it. Glad I did.

Do you see the price they want for that rifle now? Wow! I have a gold mine on my walls.
Yeah, it just jumped up $200 overnight. Seems a bit excessive to me.
