I dont think the lock on those is as good as a Pedersoli. The lock can make or break a flinter

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

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
