I could probably shoot those flintlocks better than the ones I'm shooting now 😁
Cool video.

They sure knew how to make them last back then. Today's ARs wouldn't last 5 years in the water.
I'm  not  H/C or P/C or even a particularly  good shot but I have a hell of a good time!

Great find!
OTOH, an AK would be fine once you dumped most of the mud out.

Of course, the trade guns would probably be more accurate!
