Flintlock Fun
With a little improvement in the weather, I got out for some sporting clays yesterday. I had bought my dream muzzleloading shotgun last year and hadn't shot it yet. It's a John Manton 16 gauge Flintlock sxs. It was everything I had hoped it would be.
I shot it 20 times and it worked flawlessly. Not bad for a shotgun made in 1818. Looking forward to getting to know her a little better this year with both clays and a hunting trip.

Congratulations on acquiring that wonderful gun. I’ll be looking for photos of your first hunt with that beauty.
