I was at the range today and my friend Mike gave me a flint lock. It's .54 cal and it's never been fired. He explained he got it for a gift and didn't like it because it was a flinter. Like I said it's 54 cal. It's brand new and never been fired. The stock is dark brown wood and the barrel is and octagon with adjustable sights. On the barrel it says black powder only, Cabela's and made in Italy. So...........
I need to know what accessories I need now to shoot this rifle. I asked a few guru's at the range and they looked it over and removed the hammer and gave me the all clear. Another flinter cleaned the barrel and loaded it up and told me to fire it. He loaded it once but showed me what to do the 2 other times. They agreed that the rifle costs around $500 to 550.00.
I noticed round balls and greased patches. What size balls and patches???? He also had a little thing that let out some fine powder into the hole ignition are. What was that thing called and what was the name of that fine powder? Can I use blackhorn in the rifle even though it says black powder. If not do I have to use goex?
I need all the help I can get guys :!: I'll say thanks now, SO THANKS TO ALL WHO REPLY :!: :!: :!: :!:
Thanks,
