RE: Where on Wednesday twenty: House hill ruins
True, they were impressive; it is hard to make them reliable! I have a flintlock pistol I am still trying to get a reliable spark from the frizzen.
It is pretty fun though!

Flintlock? Now that's Old-school! Never fired one. Now I want to! I bet it's cool as! Pistols at 20 paces bro! 🙈
Trying to get it to work, but I am building a rifle to match. The rifle will have two lock assemblies, one flint, and one percussion. I only lack the barrel, plan to go 50 calibre.
I am sure that the lock time will be greater, but it should be a lot of fun anyway! You use the pistol, I'll use my double barrelled 20 gauge black powder shotgun, LOL....
:)>Hmm, how about we do it the other way around? 😃
Only if I get to load the 20 guage, LOL! Clay instead of powder.... :)
Right now, unless I get that lock problem worked out, you might still win....
:)>Haha! Deal!
It is hard to find someone who is expert on a flintlock firearm....
But if I can't find one, I will play with it; until I become one!
:)>That's the ticket...Fake it until you make it? Nice one.
Hey, if at some point I drop off with my comments it's because I am flying interstate in a couple hours for the weekend, not because I'm ignoring you.
No problem, I will be on the road next Monday myself. I have to finish a mini-split install, for one of my Sisters.
I find that I can usually think my way out of trouble; just need to jump in, and start!
Travel safely!
