That looks like the traditions tennessee rifle.

I'm sure I will... and i don't think it will take me long to lern not to flinch
Uh oh another one has been bitten devel
have you tried yet? just dry fire it a few times with the flint, you will see how much you jump or not through the sites.
Of course I did... as soon as i got it out of the box (and checked to make sure it didn't have any barrel obstructions)... did not see any flinch.... gotta go get some rb for it.... then make some smoke!
Jim dont worry about flinching.
A good tuned Flintlock with real black powder in the pan,(not the substitutes) will fire so fast that it is hard to tell the difference between it and a caplock.
The ball should be leaving the barrel before the flint finishes scraping the frizzen.
Theres no time to flinch.
If you dont flinch with a caplock, you wont flinch with a flinter.
Now if your having problems with your lock and your having delayed ignition, you may flinch.
But if everything is working properly, dont worry about flinching.
Thanks Tom...
