Invest arms
« on: January 21, 2011, 02:06:47 PM »
I am making a flintlock from a kit by invest arms I have a little more to do before it is done. My dad has one just like it but his is lefty. What aaccuracy can I expect with this gun? I got this because I would like to have a flint lock and it would be a fun winter project.

The only experience I have with Invest Arms is my buddies Hawkin that had a badly fouled barrel due to his shooting unpatched lead.  I do know that Invest Arms is the same company that makes Lyman products and I do have some experience with those.  I have a GPR that provides excellent accurary out to what my eyes can call into range.

Once you get it tuned proper, figure out the in's-out's and tricks to the flint lock, you should get one hole groups at 50yrds and 4-5" groups possible 3" at 100. It's the open sights and eyes that defeat most people.
In other words it'll shoot better than most people.  ;)
But theres work to do experimenting with different loads, patch, lube, etc,,,

Have fun with it first, most folks have a blast just getting the thing to go bang and makin smoke,, ;D  :D

Here ya go. GPR flinter 50 cal. Made by the same company, should get similar results.
2 sighters and a 4 shot group from a very steady rest at 50 yds.
