Savage ML-10 II

[skeet]

LOL..best way I think I've heard it said in quite a while. I have many times tried to convince myself I need a flinter..then I remember how much fun it is to clean the darn things. and the frustration flinters sometimes cause..and say the same thing..got too many to shoot 'em all anyway. The modern powders such as Pyrodex and 777 are not really reliable in a flint lock without a small charge of black next to the touch hole(if then) and they are very expensive per shot if you use the pellet things. I must admit though that I liked shooting the ol T-C Hawken caplock..I did not like cleaning it, though. I no longer shoot the old Pa gun either..it was made in 1799 and was converted to a caplock way back in the mid 1800's i guess..It was a real pain to clean..fun to shoot as were my old Colt percussion revolvers..I have 3 originals but they are really worth too much to shoot as is the Pa gun..I still think I NEED a flinter though...LOL
