I consider myself a pretty advanced collector. However, one area which has evaded me is flintlocks! I’m a complete novice!
I’ve had the opportunity to pick up a couple of original .54 pistols from the 19th century and couldn’t resist the history behind them. I certainly want to shoot them, but being original I’d like to take extra care in preserving their finish and condition.
For you black powder guys, what advice do you have for cleaning, powder types, loads, loading methods, and general tips and tricks.
