Flintlock video

If you wanna see how a flintlock firearm works, but don't want to wait until I'm done with mine, check out the video at:

There are some differences between the reenactor's musket and my rifle, but this gives you a really good idea of it without me having to do much work. So there.

Great intro video. Please post yours when you're done. A closeup of the frizzen and sparks would be great, and there is one floating around somewhere that does it in slow motion to capture just how the sparks develop and are drawn into the touch hole.
Thanks,
