Flintlock Photo's? Let's see em!

Heres a couple rifles I have, a Baker and a Harpers ferry.

Military flintlocks are one of my passions, and living in northern Ontario I can get out in the bush with them often!






This one here is the star of my collection, a antique LORD marked flintlock pistol. She is of common pattern but all her barrel markings are quite early, She still sparks wonderfully aswell.

My favoritest toy....

My 16ga flint double. I'm at least the third owner, and I haven't been able to find anything about the builder. Seven pounds even, cut-away breeches, double-tapered L&R Manton locks. I love it, but nothing's perfect - the left lock has a couple of things that could stand working on and the bores are rather rough.

This is my one and only flinter..a Pedersoli Queen Anne .50 Cal smoothbore. This thing is a lot of fun to shoot, had it at the black powder day at Port Coquitlam and District Hunting and Fishing Club a couple of weeks ago. No sights are provided but I was able to hit the target at 7 meters, targets at 25 meters were quite safe as I was not able to connect with them.
I am negotiating for another flint pistol in .45 Cal with rifled bore and sights, the idea being to win a steak at the monthly meet up at PCDHFC.
