I am considering peddling the GPR to finance a rifle kit in .45. Since Cabelas sells them now for $530, I thought $350 would be appropriate. It is no longer as...

In south central PA you are real close to Dixons in Kempton, near Kutztown. Take your rifle over there and let them take a look. There is the gun fair there at...
Being a friend for several years I am upset by this loss. All of this stuff is precious to me as well. Remember, any of my BP stuff you need to borrow until...
I took a 1/16" drill to the touchhole of my Lyman GPR. I'm not sure if it helped or not. If the flint is sharp, check the hardness of the frizzen. I believe...
I did two things to today to try to improve my flintlock ignition. I did not drill out the touch hole liner any more than it is, but I did take an oversize...
It works. At Fort Ti's event last weekend I fired 28 volleys with two misfires. Not bad considering that all I did to make it go after the misfire was wipe ...
Strike face with an ordinary file. Frizzen should show no file marks. If it does, and you feel competent enough to try and case harden, go ahead. However,...

Oh, one more thing I forgot. If you're using synthetic "wannabe" black powder, throw it away. It not only won't ignite easily, it burns WAY to inconsistently...
Most flintlock ignition problems can be blamed (almost 100% of the time) on poor lock timing, and NOT touch hole size. The angle of the flint to frizzen...
Are you using real black powder or something like Pyrodex? You will have ignition problems and hangfires or no fire with a flintlock if you don't use real...
