[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 407214, member: 15636"] [b]Funny ... but it did go off[/b] ... and it was only in the high 30s (degrees F) for ambient temperatures, so there at least should be some [color=#FF4000][b][i]fire and flame[/i][/b][/color] showing from the pan and barrel! And yes, I do shoot some of my smoothbore flintlocks right-handed as a lefty ... but to be brutally honest ... I've never seen it! ... all my attention is on the front sight (smoothbores have no rear sight, as a rule). That is a French [i]Fusil de Boucanier[/i] as shown, circa 1680, of 65-caliber wearing a 54" barrel. All of the clothing and accoutremonts (accessories) were all hand made, to mimic French milicien (milita) circa early 1700s. Just part of my hobbies when the boat's put away :wink: ! [/QUOTE]
