Bought 2 of these off stony1 and love them! I had one from TOTW but it was super thick and when on half cock, would hold my frizzen partially open. These fit like a glove and are much thinner. Worked out like a charm :Red tup:
Hello guys, and welcome to the forum, R. BooneFrontierGander said:Its an extra safety precaution. If the cock drops by accident and the cover is in place, no spark will happen. It also helps keel foul weather ( rain/snow) from soaking the frizzen steel which could cause a misfire in the field.
Good point Pete, never gave that a thought. See what I mean about edumacatin' these young ens' You informed Mr. Boone (and others I'm sure) about a possible calamity. Thank you buddy.OldMtnMan said:It's a good idea to use the frizzen cover even if you don't have powder in the pan. Flintlocks have been known to ignite when the hammer falls on an empty pan. If one spark works it's way into the touch hole it will fire.
So, be safe and use the cover all the time.
Mr. Boone: You sir; are very welcome. To me anyone younger than myself is a young un, and Pete. I wouldn't mind being 60 again either except for the nastiness of that stroke. :shock:R. Boone said:Thanks for the information, as well as calling me a young un at 60 that makes me fell good!
