That has always been a dream of mine is to build a flintlock. Not sure if I want to build a .32 cal for small game or a larger one I can deer hunt with

Can you give me specs on that gun?

Cal/bullet/powder, etc?

Congrats man

That's an southern rifle built by Steve Krolick

42" straight octagon .50 cal barrel
Siler lock with a Tom Fuller English flint
13.5" length of pull

In this one I'm shooting a .490 ball w/.015 Ox-Yoke wonder patch over 90 gr. of GOEX 3f. I'm getting groups as tight as I can make them at 75 rds.

Thanks!

Congrats BPScout!!
Its a good feelin aint it?
Have you tried Rich Pierce flints? I have had real good luck with them and a LOT cheaper than the English of French amber.
If interested shoot me a P.M. and I will give you his contact info.
Nice rifle also, I love the southern style rifles.
