My lock time and ignition is almost as fast as a percussion and most people can't tell the different . Remember I built the gun and the key is the flash hole position and size , plus most people put too much powder in pan and put the powder too closest flash hole . His lock time is good but if he used half the powder in the pan it would have been faster . It is the flash that ignites the powder in barrel not the flame and flash hole must open and no powder blocking the hole . You will see in video his flash hole is above powder in pan which is correct ,... I hope this make senseHack wrote:That is a gorgeous rifle.
Taking a buck with a flintlock is an accomplishment, given the delay and the reliability issues.
