Title: My first flintlock
Post by: Pmead on January 07, 2024, 08:23:29 AM
A beautiful rifle made by Stoner Creek. I always wanted a left handed flintlock, so my uncle surprised me with this as a wedding present.

There's nothing like starting at the top. If you have a rifle made by Wayne it is a treasure for sure. Most of us started 50 years ago with what ever we could find or scrounge up, slowly improving as the years went by. Congratulations on acquiring a fine piece. Now go out and shoot the heck out of it.

That’s like learning to play guitar on a Martin D-28 or a Gibson Les Paul!   Starting it off with a keeper!   Congrats.
