Flintlock

[Gordie]

What Flintlock would you guys purchase for hunting

and what percusion cap side hammer would you buy also

I'm thinking of going a bit more tradional next season and looking for any input.

Gordy, check out Track of the Wolf in Elk River, they have a nice display area and are great people to work with in the field of the most traditional stuff, even I admit a serious lack of knowledge in flintlocks. I do have an older Cabelas brand (can't remember the maker now, but it's Italian) hawken caplock and love it, give me a call sometime and we can chat about them.

One of my neighbors is into the rendevous/re-enactor events, and he has several flintlocks he has built from scratch, buying the parts from suppliers like Track of the Wolf and Dixie Gun Works - very cool old longguns, and some are surprisingly not very heavy.

One of the first times I was around black powder was at a traditional event in the Mason City ,Iowa area I was 17 yrs old and was completely fasinated by the whole tradition thing but never really got into it.

I think now is the time get into it.

Thanks Chris I will check out track of the wolf I have been there and they do have a great display.

I need to revisit them and check out Dixie gun works also.

Thanks guys
