Thanks for all of the comment and I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. This was just too much fun and my New Year's resolution is to get these original muzzleloaders out more often as well as shoot black powder shells in my Parkers more.
Mike - Everyone loves the dog I got from you. He is both wonderful in the field and a family friend at home. And just such a handsome dog as well.
Stan - I enjoy percussion shotguns too. I have a Purdey 16ga made in 1838 that I need to get out and use. Just like with this flintlock, I am always amazed at how well these old guns shoot and they can be a lot more fun. On this day, I made some good shots and missed a few I should have got, just like if I was using a modern gun.
Dean - We were down at Markover. It was a great morning with some holdover birds and just a wonderful time. Too convenient and fun not to do it again soon(which I will!).
