Perfectly presented. This was the most intimidating part of starting to use a flintlock for me. Put me off making the change for a couple years but when I finally did it didn't take much practice to come to terms with how it works. Took about a week firing 5-10 shots a day at a target, changing the flint for every shot, to get confident enough that I would be able to make it work in the field if necessary.

[@historicaltrekking]

I very much appreciate your feedback, thank you. Regards, Keith.

In Pennsylvania we call a reproduction a bench riffle or bench fowler. Great job explaining how to fit flint to a lock left handed. Good tip on how to Knapp, I've never seen it before.

[@historicaltrekking]

Good to hear from you Timothy & thank you for commenting. Appreciated. Regards, Keith.

[@timothyrothrock4173]

@@historicaltrekkingI am in the habit of giving a thumbs up and committing to producers of quality videos that interest me. I love black powder and 17th and 18th century history. Thanks again for your instruction and knowledge and willingness to share to help others who have the interest of research 😀

[@historicaltrekking]

Very nice video. I've been shooting percussion for years now. But I'm interested in flintlock. This will help to make it a better experience by flattening a bit of the curve. Thank you sir.

[@historicaltrekking]

Thank you for your comment & feedback Trakker, much appreciated. If I can ever be of any further assistance, contact me. Regards, Keith.

Glad to see you back again, nice pistol, I pray you and your family are all doing well, I've been using just my Bess Carbine this last year, took a grouse and 2 rabbits last summer, didn't even bother with turkey or Big Game this year, hopefully next year.. Merry Christmas ...

[@historicaltrekking]

Good to hear you are still getting out there Rob, thank you for commenting, appreciated. All the best to you & yours. Regards, Keith.

[@redsky8509]

simple, easy to understand, very informative. Thank you sir... A Merry Christmas to your family, and prayers for a safe and healthy new year.

[@Southernlandbushcraft]

Thanks for the video mate. As someone who is just getting into blackpowder firearms, it would be good to see some more helpful videos like this, and where to get supplies in Australia. Thanks again.

[@historicaltrekking]

Good to hear from you SLB, perhaps you would like to join our group forum where you can ask questions? Regards, Keith. neclhg.freeforums.net/ woodsrunnersdiary.blogspot.com/

Thanks Ashley :) Regards, Keith.

[@jerrytalley802]

Keith, people mentioned you’re back. Did something happen, are you ok? Cool videos, I hear those old flint locks were famous for misfires? I never thought about it but I guess the “flint and steel fire starters gave them the idea? Take care on the other side of the pond

[@historicaltrekking]

Good to hear from you again Jerry. Yes, but the medication knocks me about more than the disease ! Some fair to middling days, & some bad days. You take care our there Jerry & stay safe. Regards, Keith.

[@jerrytalley802]

Thanks Keith, you do the same. Crazy hard to do living in a world with deadly viruses, etc. I love how the old timers figured all this stuff out, love how tough they were. I physically wouldn’t last a farting spell if life was hard today like the pioneer days, my body wouldn’t stand it anymore, injuries, pain, fibromyalgia are kicking my butt. I used to be strong and Tuff growing up, had a small green house, large gardens, canned and froze vegetables . That’s how I know how hard it is, lol
