The basic and common parts of the flintlock and the lock itself. Although there are many types, makes, and calibers, the parts described here are the same in most cases.
Another great video from you. Keep them coming! I've had a couple of percussion locks for several years but I have a smoothbore flintlock on order that I'm anxiously waiting for. It's a lefty also.
'mornin to ya, Brian; Great Historical Piece Of Equipment, I did not know that there were any Left Hand shooting Flintlocks made ? Tks Again 4 Another Great Video. Watch yer top notch & keep yer powder dry. Happy Trails From The Maritimes In Canada
So! Ahha! You shoot sinister! You do know that according to the Nuns that taught me in Grade School that that is the devils side! More power to ya! Great video, as usual, chock full of info and facts. You have the Must Knows, Should Knows and the Could Knows. All down pat! and you have mastered your subject. No one could ask more from a Grade A Instructor. Very Well Done!
Not sure which one you mean bro but I can tell you aside from mine all the other weapons filmed were at the Pennsylvania Long rifle Museum, there were no Kentucky Long rifles there though. Glad you liked it and as always thanks for your comments and support
2nd one down on the meuseum shot ya your right was pa I don't know my own gun im from pa and granddad had one for yrs on the wall it was his granddads my uncle has it now and wont let anybody see it but I do have my great granddads snider trade gun in 12 gauge
Is that a smoothbore "trade" type gun? What are your thoughts on the smoothbore vs the longrifle, and which were more commonly carried by the Eastern woodsmen? Seems like the smoothbore is way more versatile, but I understand the longrifle was preferred for its accuracy at range?
Bro sorry I never saw this comment, I couldn't tell you honestly cause I've never shot a longrifle. The gun I shoot how was one of the most common calibers to take game often in the Eastern Woodlands though. I was also a very much sought after guns to the Native Americans at the time because the English guns were heavier from what I have read. Sorry I did not get back to you sooner
Not a custom really as they made left handed weapons. I specifically got the 1730 Fusil de Chasse because it was illustrated in Hamilton's book as being left handed. The gun was hand crafted by Larry Zornes of Ohio Mold and Gun Shop. I at one time considered shooting a right handed gun but opted not to...thanks for asking
Was that a left hand gun? Would there be L - R hand flintlocks, I could see where that would be important especially with sparks coming up in your face. In the military Basic they made me use a deflector. The main problem hot brass going down my shirt. Buttoned top button.
Awesome video series...great job!!!
