Niel Fields of Vernal made that beauty !! I knew Niel from when he came down under in the early 80s and improved the standard of long gun building in South Australia.

Went to the range today to have some fun with my AR and a few other things (mostly Blackhawks in .41 & .357) and a buddy brought his Lyman Great Plains Hunter .50 cal flintlock along. I traded him a mag through my AR plus a couple wheels of fun for a few shots from his muzzeloader. I think I'm in love... and here I was planning on a crossbow for this year.

Those don't look like flinters to me

Yeah. Didn't have my camera with me to get a photo of me shooting the smoke pole. Single action revolvers are to flintlocks what TTO safety razors are to straights.

nice looking guns guys, im definitally excited to shoot this old rock lock.

Just make sure when you fire it, that nobody is standing to your right,because some debris comes flying out of the touchhole at break neck speed!! Trust me on this one.... My friend was making a video on his phone of my flinter going off and he was 10 feet to my right and a granular of powder stuck in the back of his hand!!!! So wear your eye protection

DEER HUNTER..Flash Guard Screw & Nut for large Siler, deluxe Siler, & Golden Age flintlocks, 8-32 thread, inside mounting screw with square nut. - Track of the Wolf A lot of reenactors use these since they form battle lines...they help keep debris from flying into others close by.
