Flintlock safety

[Adam Helmer]

Mr. 16 Gauge,

Excellent Thread!

Here in PA, the law requires the pan on a flintlock be emptied, or cap removed from a percussion arm, to consideder the muzzleloader UNLOADED for motor transport. Some folks put a round tooth pick in the touch hole, or a quill, but that seems a bit much to some Longhunters.

I used a spare frizzen to make leather frizzen covers for my flinters from scrap leather I had on hand. I also made 6 "Cow's Knees" from scrap leather for inclement weather hunting.
