Shooting the Early Lancaster County Flintlock Rifle

[duelist1954]

Here is the full-length video shooting the Early Lancaster County rifle built by Shawn Webster. This was my first time shooting a rifle since breaking my shoulder, and I'm not shooting up to my expectations. Shoulder's doing well, but it isn't all the way there yet. So, be gentle with your comments.

Mike,

Hope your shoulder heals quickly. Thanks for all the informative detailed videos and articles. About the only gun magazine I enjoy reading these day is Guns of the Old West.

Regards,

Dan

Edit: Nice video by the way. I found it interesting that you primed the pan with 3F instead of 4F. Being new to BP guns in general, I always wondered about using a separate priming powder with flintlocks.

God speed on your recovery Mike.

That was great!
I hope you feel 100% soon!

How'd you break your shoulder Mike?
Sorry to hear about the injury.

That rifle is a classic. Looks good and I'd bet is shoot very well too.

I am about to complete one for a PA customer myself. It's very fancy and should be an heirloom to the family in years to come. When it's done (if I can get the camera to work) I'll post some pictures.

Get well soon. Deer season is coming.
