Making a little smoke. Notice the feather in my hat. That is one of Pete the Utoo's feathers. In memory of him 5/10/2018-12/26/2019 Miss you little buddy!

Love the captions! "Pillow chicken patching". Got to walk the woods with my .36 TVM Iron PA flinter out in search of squirrels---that was my excuse anyway. Felt good being out with it.
I have the Signature model. Test firing I found the lock time a bit slow. A g vast improvement was to install a flash hole liner that is coned on the inside, and then I used a Dremmel to put a little bit of coning on the outside. Next was to drill out the flash hole liner to 1/16th of an inch.
Another great video on flintlock shooting! I love the smell of black powder on a frosty morning. I also love the easy cleanup on these hooked breech rifles.
Thank you for posting this! I have been shooting a Lyman Great Plains flintlock and a Great Plains caplock since the 90s. Mine were made by Investarm, and have been good blackpowder pieces for me. Do you know why Lyman apparently switched to a different manufacturer?
@@UncleSasquatchOutdoors I have one of the last Investarms GPR models purchased last year. I loaded it up 75+ times last Saturday for others to shoot in Pennsylvania. Works like a charm when there's a decent flint on it. This gun is built like a tank.
Without being impertinent... Holding the ram rod up high invites it to break and go through your hand. Holding your palm over it could get you impaled if the gun goes off. No offense intended. Slow flint ignition is often too much powder in the pan. Just 1, maybe 2 pushes on the primer -- at most. I wipe the frizzen and flint (to and bottom) with my thumb and after I close the frizzen, I tap the left side of the gun to move the priming powder away from the touch hole... Makes it faster. You probably know all that... Just saying for those that don't know. Flintlocks can be fast
I also have a Lyman. Have been shooting for 30 years. Really enjoy it very much. I do have one question though. Why didn't you use a prepared loading block for part of your instruction?
Not hard to make. All you need is a block of hard wood and a drill sized to a 54cal. I've done it for years. Enjoyed your talk. Hope to cross paths with you soon. Aim small miss small. TWO TALES
Good to see you out shooting. Enjoy!
Good to be out shooting. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video Uncle.

Did I say pillow chicken? The TVM Iron PAs are some good looking rifles. Thanks for watching.
@@UncleSasquatchOutdoors No you said it right. The captioning sure missed the boat!
@@Nick-wn1xw LOL! Sometimes the caption misses the boat for sure.
Cool
Thanks for watching
I HAVE A 50 CAL. LEFT HANDED FLINTLOCK SHOOTS VERY WELL
They are well built rifles for sure. Thanks for watching.
Great to see you shooting Unc! Would love to see videos of any changes you'd make for a faster ignition. Take care!
Thanks for watching.

Good tip. Thanks for watching.
God bless you sir! Thank you for making your videos, please keep it up, you and Jack
Thank you for watching them.
Always good to see that puff of white smoke.👍
Yep! Thanks for watching.
Love to see you do a deer hunting video with a flintlock . Even if it just for a doe .
Thanks for watching.
Just found you the other day, great videos so far! Looking forward to seeing more
Welcome to the channel and thanks for watching.

I've gotten so used to pinned barrel rifles that the hooked breach slipped my mind when I cleaned it. Thanks for watching.

I sure don't. Unless Investarms decided to stop making them for Lyman. Thanks for watching.
I agree about the factory ramrods. I broke several & finally changed to a tougher rod. Nice shooting!
They are a bit on the flimsy side. Thanks for watching my friend.

On my lyman flint i ended up replacing my lock with a L&R lock. It made a world of difference
I may do that in the future. Thanks for watching.

I have stressed the ramrod in other videos. Thanks for your input and thank you for watching.
@@UncleSasquatchOutdoors stock wooden ramrods aren’t that good, are they?
@@marshwise6951 They will do in a pinch but no, they are very good on factory guns. Thanks for watching.
I also have a Lyman. Have been shooting for 30 years. Really enjoy it very much. I do have one question though. Why didn't you use a prepared loading block for part of your instruction?
I usually don't use one and I haven't gotten around to buying one for the .54. Thanks for watching.

Thanks as always good to see you. What's the fix for slow ignition? Give Jake a pet for me.
The pan is a little different than what I'm used to. I think I may have put too much powder in it. Jake says thank you.
Hell that wasn’t that slow at all.
Seemed so to me. Maybe it's just because I have a couple with faster locks. Thanks for watching.
