New "Old" gun makes it into the household

[Green River Powell aka RonC]

My modern CZ75B, 9 mm pistol is sold and gone. In its place is a replica Remington 1816 Flintlock. The information in a letter from Remington:
"The Remington Model 1816 Flintrock Rifle was a Limited Edition offered by the Remington Custom Shop. It is an authentic replica of one of the first Remington rifles built. It featured a 39 inch, 50 caliber octagon barrel with deep cut rifling. The barrel has a 1 in 66 slow twist rifling. The lock is a Ketland style. The finish is original slow rust Browning finish with Bees Wax Finish. The firearm also featured a hand engraved patch box, butt plate, nose cap and trigger guard. The parts were made of solid polished brass. The curly maple stock is full length, extra fancy,that was hand finished and featured a cheekpiece. The stock has 25 coats of oil applied. This firearm was 100% hand made and fitted in the USA. The Remington 1816 Flintlock Rifle was manufactured to shoot a round ball with pillow ticking; .490" round ball only due to accuracy. "

It was love at first sight!
There is a muzzleloader shoot at the restored Ft. Lupton, CO twice a month. I'll take it up there and have the experts work with me as a new black powder shooter. I have a Hawken, percussion replica, but I have only fired a flint lock one time.
