My first flintlock
« 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.

Welcome to the world of REAL rifles..!!  ;)
That there is a sure enough beauty. Take your time learning to shoot it and drop back in here from time to time and let us know how it goes.

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.
