Yesterday, I received a Musket built by John Buck based on a late 17th Century Frenchicon design. She is 61" overall with a 44" barrel. The wood is Walnut.




At the range I used a .690RB with .015 patch with 85grs of GOEX Fg.

The first shot was as a Matchlock and she went 2" from the bullseye at 7 O'Clock. The next shot was as a Flintlock and it was a BULLSEYE touching the 10 ring at 12 O'Clock!

That put me in a good mood and I got down to seeing which was more accurate, A Matchlock or a Flintlock?

As a Matchlock the average was 2"-3" groups at 25 yards.

As a Flintlock, she shot 1"-2" groups at 25 yards.

Overall, I am very satisfied with her! I'm calling this one Wilma.
