Biggest thing about ML's is keeping them clean and moisture free. That is the #1 reason for misfires,hangfires, and erratic shooting, imho
I hunted 2 days in Citrus WMA season before last, in the rain both days, and my gun shot fine when I fired it to unload it
Biggest thing about some of the high end Ml's are the bells & whistles. The speed breach would be nice to have
I love both of mine and enjoy the challenge of hunting with one
crock if you are set on the triumph look into the bone collector. its the same gun as the triumph but it is the new model with a bunch of upgrades to the triumph, shortened the length of pull and added some recoil reducers its defenetly a great gun but its got a big tag on it too.
we need a ml section on here (hint hint)
I have been wanting to do a traditional flint lock build for a few years now. That is my next project if I ever come into some extra play money.
They have always intrigued me, and being a history nut it makes it more interesting.
Not sure if I want to do a kentucky, Pennsylvania, or a Lancaster. There are so many styles and each has a unique tradition....
I'm sure once I do one I will want to do another from another era.
And which caliber to do. I'm torn between doing a .54 or .58 caliber for deer hunting, or doing a .32 for small game
Or there is the shotgun for turkey hunting....
I am going to do one this year
