I suppose if I was put in a situation that I could on have flint or cap lock, I would go with the flinters. So far I have never had a flash in the pan and no boom. I have caps that either would not go off or were so week that  they would not ignite the powder charge.

I just like the challenge of the flint lock system

I must respectfully disagree with the above statement because I remember a cold damp day at a fall Grouse Creek Rendezvous when you stepped to the line and there was a flash but no boom.....  :mini-devil-28492: It was the same day I learned not to use 4f in the pan as it turned to mud!  pnic
