The Flintlock mechanism was the first reliable and also inexpensive system that was available to help fire a gun. It was one of the more popular during the colonial American time period.

It was created during the middle of the 1500’s and were popular up until 1660. The English Army adopted the flintlock system for its “Brown Bess” guns. The Brown Bess became famous because of its widespread use during the American Revolution. The flintlock remained popular until the mid-1800s, when it was replaced by the percussion-cap lock.

Before you can properly learn to shoot your rifle you first need to know the basics of how to clean it. It is dangerous for anyone to clean their gun without first knowing exactly what to do.

In order to clean your barrel you need to use a one piece, coated rod. If you have a sectional rod, I would advise you to get rid of it, as it may scratch the bore. Always use a bore guide when you clean your barrel. This is crucial because it provides proper alignment for the rod and allows you to clean the barrel from the chamber end out, rather than from the muzzle end. It also provides protection for the chamber, throat, rifling and crown.
