Two Questions for Longhunters?

[Adam Helmer]

roundball,

I guess we need to clarify terms a bit. Around here "Bevel UP" means mounting the flint in the jaws of the hammer to get the upmost strike of the flint on the frizzen from the get go. Some folks hereabouts would say your photo is "Bevel Down" and I was told that is because the point of the flint is DOWN.

Whatever it is called, many floks hereabout mount flints to strike as high as possible on the frizzen.

Nice photos and nice rifle.
