No, they are both the same length, I compared them too as I have run into that with some earlier production MR's from CVA. I've had to trim screws on lyman as well, so its pretty much a typical thing to run into. Even had to trim lock screws on a custom made gun I bought some years ago.
The FLINTLOCK is amazing! I had 2 flash in the pans and one fail to fire.
The first 2 flash in the pans were caused by me forgetting powder :slaps:
The fail to fire was fixed by rubbing my thumb across the frizzen to wipe the heavy fouling off.
Recoil is straight back and easy on you, not much barrel jump at all. I had a blast with it today. I will however have to file a good deal of the front sight down. I am maxed out and still about 3" low of where I want to be at 50 yards.
Ignition wise, she likes about 3 grains of 4fg. Olde Eynsford was very clean burning as well but I noticed at the muzzle, loading was very stiff to the point I got my range rod so I wouldn't chance breaking my wooden ramrod.
