Flintlock Long Guns / Re: Whoops

« Last post by KDubs on Today at 12:10:17 PM »

It's all good no powder.
This is my last kibler WR.
Calls for a 7/8 x 1 and I had been shooting 3/4 x 3/4 ish french flint and kept breaking rocks so I ordered the correct size from TOTW , they came yesterday.
The one that caused this came from a bag of loose English flints I had
Pays to pay attention huh.
Going shooting today with the correct size flint.

Welcome aboard.

Can you tell us a bit about yourself? How long you been shooting black powder, what do you shoot, etc.
Oh, yeah, pictures. We like pictures.

Nothing severe buddy. Are you sure you wouldn't be better off with a 3/4x7/8? I know a guy that makes a mental error once in a while and forgets to put powder in. I should have inquired about the type of rifle before making a comment about flint size. My apologies.

Remember, it's important to use the correct size rock in your lock.

Thought I had a 7/8 x 1 in there but turns out if it was a little bigger than that.
Didn't ding it up too bad but still.
Whoops!

Ha ain't no way that's happening.
I'm thinking about heading out again today.

I agree with Rob. If that were mine, I'd want it to stop right there. Beautiful.

From what I've read about cherry wood, there's no stopping its propensity to continually deepen in color ....

.... unless it's kept in the dark and out of ALL light sources.

I'm not sure how many times I have tried & failed, miserably! Didn't even try the last time I was out. Looking at my May postal target it would have been a waste of powder & lead!
