Probably been beat to death but what iron sights are the best for a traditional flinter for a set of aging eyes? At 57, still not bad but I can see the subscription moving a bit. I don't use glasses...

Why yes, yes you need to acquire one! Having fun with GPR .54 capper, my .54 TVM Tennessee Basic Flinter is almost 3 months late and counting, right after I get it and make sure it's sorted a .45...

Hey, I get it. One could use numerous Tupperware containers but this one kind of struck me as a freebie. I want to love the metal snuff boxes but the lack of lid retention without a bunch of work...

Thanks Everyone, just as suggested - I was overthinking things, had it at the range yesterday and the damn thing goes bang every time...... Cleaning it after wasn’t too bad afterwards but does take...

Too bad that they are gone, I see their web page is still held and has a "coming soon" banner....... It would have made an interesting experiment, if accuracy was there it would have been cool for...

Excuse the newb question. I have loaded up on Wonder Lube & Ox Yoke pre lubed patches to perhaps save on a little cleaning in between shots but I do notice they add up in cost. I looked at at dry...

Thank Y’all for your great input! Lots of info to mull around in my pea brain, great first world problem. I have perused Jim Chamber’s horse pistols to be sure, then thought perhaps a good pistol kit...
