A few new trinkets...
« on: May 03, 2021, 07:27:11 AM »
After purchasing my GPR flintlock in .54 last December, it dawned on me that I didn't have any of the proper accoutrements to shoot the darn thing! Last week I placed an order with TOW to address the issue:



Top left: spare leather flint pad and 3 flints
Bottom left: flint hammer (dressing tool)
Top center: flash hole pick/pan brush with chain and button hook
Bottom center: priming flask
Top right; .018 pillow ticking patches, pre-lubed
Bottom right: TOW .530 hand-cast round balls

All I'm missing now is the priming powder, either 4f or Null-B
Spooling up to go make some smoke soon!

Nice collection of goodies Capt. I like all the wrought iron.
