You start the breech plug with the touch hole lined up with the O on the barrel

Great video guys, I have a couple questions. Why would you use 90 grains of loose powder when the pellets were 100 grain equivalent? Also, have you tried using 2f or 3f triple 7 powder to prime the pellets? I've been eyeing this flintlock up, it looks sweet.

I can't believe he had 3 shots at that thing and never hit it once😂😂

Part 2 will be uploaded soon. Please subscribe, like, and share to keep following along with this build!

Why was the barrel wedge off the gun?

Air gap only causes inconsistent accuracy, it's not dangerous

Yup yup been kicking around a few ideas myself

Love it . . . so quiet and smooth . . I`m looking for a original .32 squirrelgun-Crocket rifle here in Sweden where its no license if the rifle is older than from 1890 ! But it will cost me 2000 US Dollars that I`m willing to pay if I could find one !

I have an AR-15, a Benelli M4 and various other firearms for keeping any wandering Democrats from crawling in my winders, but the most fun gun I have is my .50 cal T/C Hawken rifle. I just ordered my first flintlock rifle kit made by Jim Kibler in .54 cal… a Woodsrunner. Gonna try building one myself. Something about shooting black powder that is addictive… maybe its the big balls… lol.

Great job ! have shot for year well put! MR!!! Props

i am a bp noob. but you used way too many napkins. thats a good way to cap jam, not soo much beeswax next time. just a thin coating around the nips was the play

I've carried birthday candles for years to drip wax around my rifle cap.

Excellent experiment I thought at least one wouldn't go off Also use a flap holster to keep water off the gun

What size patch do you use

I read about how Sam Colt would load a revolver, lay it in a tank of water (like a fishtank), and then lecture for 15-20 minutes about how good his pistols were. Then he would lift the gun out of the water and fire it into a target with no misfires. I don't know if the caps manufactured for his revolvers were a proprietary design (probably), really tight, or if they had shellac or something else over the priming material to make them watertight. I think cap and ball revolvers nowadays are more of a novelty, but back then, they were serious self defense guns like Glocks or Smith and Wessons are today. I'm sure they took them more seriously back then. A big problem now, the major cap manufacturers and cap and ball revolver manufacturers don't take as much care for standards. Caps are either loose or too tight with no standards for fit and finish, even between lots. Colt sold his revolvers, but he also sold his waterproof cartridges with his caps in the package. Sort of like how razor manufacturers sell their blades for their "free" handles and printer companies make their printers to only use their ink cartridges. Basically getting you to buy his pistol so he could make more money selling the cartridge packets. He took more care to make sure it went "bang" when you pulled the trigger in all conditions, just like modern gun and ammo makers do.

Use a chronograph. For some reason, leaving these loaded loses energy over time. I lose about 200 fps after a month. For that reason, I load about 15% hotter if I intend to carry for awhile. The same effect seems to occur with both black powder and 777 substitute.

I just bought one, i can't wait to shoot it.

Can get snappy with +P, but a good little CC gun.

I ALWAYS make sure my nipples and especially my touch hole is clean. No exceptions

Good information lol it looked like you had someone tied to the pole in the back ground

The wad you used is it lubed

I have shot muzzle loading rifles and pistols but never a muzzle loading shotgun what is the largest shot size you can use? Can you use 00 buck shot pellets and what is the effective range?

I got a 642 Smith makes some good revolvers

Well it went bang every time you pulled the trigger cool vid how was the humidity

Did Davey use a percussion rifle or a flintlock?

Very concise, well done, informative video--- Definitely not your first time at the rodeo--- Thanks!
