Some BP questions

[mlrifleNY]

I shoot a lot of flintlocks, and have never had any factory made rifle by any company that was as fast as a custom made lock. L&R locks make some replacements for a few factory made ones. The lock and how it is set up makes all the difference. All my flintlocks shoot fast enough so you can't feel any delay. There is some of course but noon that you feel. Choose you flintlock well.

Thanks. Not in the market for quite awhile if at all. I love my cap lock and have stocked up to the hilt on supplies. Maybe one day.

Agree with mirifle. I only have 2 flintlocks and thats all I want. I havent shot them much but need to. Learning curve on those takes some getting use to and patience is a key factor. One flint is a Lyman Great plains rifle with an L&R lock in it. The other is a custom built by John Bergmann 50cal. I havent even shot it yet but I need to. Just have to much fun with the Hawkens

Bronco. What year RR?

[RanchRoper]

2021.

[Rifletom]

RR, is it the Sport model or full size. We're looking hard at the full size 2-door with either 2.3L or 2.7L and 10 speed auto. How are you liking it?
Thanks RR; you're the first person to hear have one.

[RanchRoper]

Bronco Sport Outer Banks version. Love it so far. 40 mpg. Stiff ride like a truck which is good. Solid. 18” wheels.

[BigAl52]

That 40mpg is probably pretty nice up there where a gallon of gas is about as much as a good bottle of whiskey

[RanchRoper]

Just went up 4 cents to $1.35 per litre. Trudeau’s carbon tax.

[Rifletom]

Thanks RR. 40 mpg is mighty good. 1.5L or 2.0L? What trans? Thanks again RR.

[RanchRoper]

1.5L turbo. Auto trans. All wheel drive with several traction modes.

[Rifletom]

Ok. Thanks again RR. Learning curve here. Appreciate the info.

[BigAl52]

Gees 5.10 a gallon.

[RanchRoper]

Oh ya it’s outta control here. If the little dictator gets his way we’ll be Venezuela soon.

BUT…away from politics and back to loving Broncos and black powder:)

Have you seen that Kibler SMR for sale on the muzzleloading forum in 40 cal. Man I like that rifle

[RanchRoper]

Add 2500 caps to my stash.

Been working on simplifying my shooting bag stuff....I have a very nice, large buffalo bag that hold lots of stuff but it's big to pack around. I have this smaller simple elk bag from October Country that I have been using lately. Now the lead balls are just loose in the bag, my lubed patches are in a little snuff can, the ball starter I made myself, and the little deerskin pouch I put together to protect a small can of extra caps. The caps I use go in the "capper" I punched out and attached to my horn strap (an old saddle latigo) along with the powder measure I made. Very compact kit and easy to carry around in the field. I put the antler on the bag flap to help keep it down on windy days.
