  • will you technically be able to fire a replica fintlock pistol?

  • Depends on the type of replica it is. Some are well made but are sold without the vent in the barrell being drilled, therefore it cant be fired and if you were to drill the vent yourself, technically you'd be turning it into a live firearm. The Bess in my video 'could' fire if it werent put beyond use by having a bar welded into the barrell, I removed the bar but drilled a number of holes in the underside of the barrell just to keep on the right side of the law :oD

  • no lisence needed until you want to fire it right?

  • No license needed as this is a non firing replica, a movie prop for 'Sharpes Challenge' :o)

  • Why would you need a licence to fire it for?

  • Here in Ireland there are very strict gun controls, I believe you need a shotgun licence to fire black powder guns.

  • There's a reason we still use muzzleloaders today.

  • nothing beats a well crafted flintlock.

  • @docteridk99 Right on!

  • my favourite

  • @darkmatter265 No Norway is

  • is this musket from "militaryheritage" ?

  • The third model seems more "soldier friendly" with it's slightly shorter length and slightly streamlined stock work. The stock drop does not seem to extreme either.  I would bet this musket has a balance feel to it that is very appealing.

  • It looks like you are using a far too short Flint. This way, not the flint hits the Steel, but the Top Jaw or the Cock Screw, and might damage those Parts.

  • in switzerland u just give ur name and number and u can buy any type of mussleloader straight away :)

  • @entmage Thancks

  • @cartoonman12345 Dixie Gun works, I don't know if they ship to Canada though
