I finished my 40 flintlocks. Has just a little delay but not to bad. I would like yo get it better and I know I need to try different loading methods. I just wanted to find whats the preferred flash hole size. I've got the white lightning liner and a 1/16 in bit is just a bit to big to go in the hole. Is 1/16 What you would reccomend? I would hate to drill it out and find its to big but on the other hand I feel that would be what it needs.

I drill all my white lightnin's 1/16"

What do you perceive as a little delay ?  I can't hear any delay at all on mine. Is the lock operating smoothly and fast ?
Perhaps the internals are dragging on wood ?   Is the frizzen rubbing ?   With a white lightening liner , the gun should fire almost instantly....you shouldn't hear a delay.

I will ck this out more and report back.
Thanks

How much prime are you guts using?

[OldMtnMan]

About 1/2 a pan. Maybe a bit less.

[Daryl Pelfrey]

Everytime I try typing guys it turns out guts. Dagonit

[OldMtnMan]

You just typed guys.

[Daryl Pelfrey]

Yeah I know. I just need to proof read from now on.

I fill my pans with prime. I don't have any wide shallow pans, all three are a bit narrower and deeper than some.
It may not be necessary, but oft times I almost never get a flash in the pan. I do not wipe the pan out, nor do I wipe
the frizzen off. I just load and shoot. Sometimes there might be a bit of carbon block the vent and it misses fire, so I
prick the vent, otherwise, I load and shoot, load and shoot - no wiping of anything - well, you know what I mean.
