Let's see those flintlocks!

[Noban]

I once again (after 10 years) have the black powder illness and am getting my shop set up to build a flinter. Show me your work and share your experiences please!

Thanks

Kev

Hey, hey, HEY! Do you know what a flintlock is, mister? Well, do you?

I'll tell you what it is. . . . it's a firearm. This is the non-firearm weapons forum. We don't discuss wicked, crowd-killing, child-murdering guns here. This is a place for manly men to discuss manly and honorable weapons such as the Romatron. (Don't google it, you'll be sorry.)

But there's a blackpowder forum next door where you and your fellow gun fetishists can get your jollies discussing your fully semi-automatic flintlock barrels, or whatever.


And happy April 1st.
