Today we will be taking about Flintlocks and why you should own one. I believe that Flintlocks are the best traditional muzzleloader because give you more opportunities to hunt and recreate. They are excellent for traditional muzzleloader hunting if you want a rustic experience. And overall flintlocks make great range toys if you want a slower experience.

A lot of people tend to forget that having fun is always a good reason to do something, happy to see you mention that sometimes just having something cool is enough of a reason sometimes

Absolutely. I think we are so focused on productivity as a society that we forget to have fun for fun’s sake.

@@resoluteoutdoors If you hunt with one try this. .54 cal. 1:48 twist 348 gr. solid lead hollow point CVA Powerbelts with 115 gr. 2f Triple 7. It's a deer hammer.

I’ve never used hollow points before in my flintlock only round balls. Thanks for the load!

I would think from a survivalist pov, a flintlock is a must have. You aren't reliant on manufactured ammo, you can make your own black powder if you have the potassium nitrate, carbon, sulfur etc ingredients. if you know what to look for you can make your own flint, with a couple of tools and raw lead you can make your own bullets.

That is an excellent point! They are the only rifles you can make everything you need to keep them operational.

We live for flintlock season here in PA. Our family really looks forward to Dec. 26th every year. We actually do better in flintlock because city folks stay home. It's actually pretty easy. Find what they are eating and set up down wind. They have to eat to stay warm.

It’s a really great season to get out and not have to fight the crowds and enjoy the woods!

The one thing about flintlocks, is that are great for "tinkering:! Yeah sure, there are "which percussion cap is the one of the week", but nothing beats a nice piece of chert, flint or the latest piece of rock! Caps CAN and HAVE fallen off, leaving you looking at your game's butt!! You can tell a flintlocker by his bare right hand compared to the hair on his other hand ...a badge of pride! Whether a Pennsylvania-school, a Hawken, a Jaeger, a Baker, a Brown Bess/Charleville,, or an English Fowler, there is "a load" yet untried, a "ball/patch combo" to noodle, a "different lock", always a little something! Maybe a "new bag"? a new powder charging tool? And it always brings a smile, a joy, an AH_HAH! And YOU figured it out! (my old load from the '80's fired out oh my DGW kit Pennsylvania rifle was 60 grains FFFg, 1/2 pan of FFFFg, a squared chisel English flint !/2 inch under leather, a .440 ball and .010 ticking patch with 'bear grease'.)

The possibilities are endless you will have a hard time getting board with a flintlock. They are severely underrated!

Absolute independence. With a little work you can even make your own potassium nitrate, charcoal is easy and some places you can even mine your own Sulphur. So long as there are rocks and you can find pee or chicken crap...

Flintlocks are the most useful long term for resupply.

You can make your own black powder. You can make your own bullets. In most states no background checks, No registration, and you can mail order them.
