Flintlock Maintenance pt. 1: "On the Run"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 сер 2024
- Flintlocks are beautiful and masterful pieces of artwork and engineering. They're also incredibly finicky and need constant attention to keep them reliable. While flintlocks are obsolete for modern warfare, there was a time when they were cutting edge technology. To living historians, reenactors, and muzzle loading enthusiasts, they still are. And knowing the proper ways of maintaining and cleaning them is of the utmost importance if one has the goal of becoming as proficient with them as our ancestors were.
Today we talk about the first level of cleaning and maintaining flintlocks, what I like to call "on the run" maintenance. This maintenance can be done standing or on the move and does not require any specialized tools and helps keep the flintlock running reliably from shot to shot.
Coming soon will be two more segments about cleaning the flintlock that will be more in depth so stay tuned for those!
Sorry for the bad auto towards the end. I'm still learning how to use my new microphones.
I used to want to do a flintlock channel on here but this guy does it so well there’s no point.
Nonsense, create away! We need more flintlock knowledge preserved and shared!
Excellent video! Thanks!
Another good video!
Outstanding My Friend!!!! You have come a long way in such a short time. You present a wealth of information in a perfectly fluent and knowledgeable manner... "On The Run" is certainly fitting for the majority of our chosen endeavors in this historical perspective. Being informed with all the basics of operations always ensures a more harmonious outcome. Looking so forward to continuing with you on your journeys........
Thanks
Great video
Great job...glad you are covering this for those who are new to black powder. Especially liked that you did it in a wooded location! Take care!
When cleaning/ wiping down your lock, watch your fingers around that flint. It's super sharp and will slice you like a razor !
Loved it , already up to speed with this , but I like to watch these videos to see if I can learn new things 👍🇭🇲❤️
I am so pleased to see an American gun without the leather frizzen cover & flash gaurd ( solutions for non existent problem )
I have been getting into smoothbore flintlocks lately. I have a blunderbuss and am looking to add a Musket and pistol. It's been a lot of fun, and I am getting better ignition.
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing this information and your adventures
Good work! A wealth of knowledge
Another great informative video!!!
Thank you for this video! 👍
Great vid as always
How do you know if your lock is designed to hold the flint flat side up or flat side down? (8:45)
Great advice! Thanks
Great info! Thanks!
I run a damped rag tight to a string down with the bore with the rammer then put it out .
That's what I do! You shooting a smoothbore or rifle?
@@FlintlockOperator both I can just rap it around my off hand and keep on keeping on or tuck it in my belt
Quick question how do I know what patching to use for my flintlock? Like what thickness I have a 45 cal hawken
What size of ball are you using?
