flintlocks in the rain

[Adam Helmer]

Mr. 16 gauge,

I have never used "raincoat", so I have no opinion on that stuff.

Some folks seal the edge of the frizzen near the priming with candle wax. Just keep the flame away, far away from the 4F! I keep my lock under my coat until I shoot my flinters. Some folks use sandwich bags, cow's knees and whatnot to cover the lock. Hope this helps.
