Let's talk guns

[Red Badger]

It's a Pedersoli "coach gun" and the barrels, IIRC, are 20" or 22".  I hated to let it go, by the way.

But I am sooo glad you did!   I use it every year!

               Dogshirt has no patience when it concerns shooting a Flintlock.      He had posted a couple of years ago that he got hold of a Flintlock and it gave him mega troubles,     as far as consistent ignition,  compared to his percussion guns.     Now he only uses a Flintlock barrel for tightening fences, or so he says.    And I always thought the Norwegians were very  patient people,  apparently does not apply to all Norwegians. 

     Need to careful with what  is said,  or that Mangy dog  will  start nipping at our heels.         

There is a plethora of evidence contrary to dogshirt's opinion. A one time experience with an unknown lock does NOT negate that gargantuan amount of historical and contemporary experience. Comparing a crappy flintlock w a soft frizzen, sawn flint, weak springs, dragging moving parts and a touch hole that is too small to a well tuned flintlock is analogous to driving a poorly running 30 year old pickup with a bad clutch and 2 cylinders not firing and saying pickups are a pain in the ass and no good.

Don't confuse him with facts, his mind is made up.
