Adam,
There is no learning without discussion. As far as my sense of humor goes, I love it, so does my dog, why else would he hang around if not for my exquisite appreciation for the absurd.
I don't know who you think comes to these pages, but what I was hoping you'd say, was actually just as skeet said, reliability with flintlocks in my VERY LIMITED experience is much better than 65%. I have green mountain barrels and siler locks with stainless steel inserts to the breech, and a bunch of flints from Track of the Wolf. I get better than 8/10 now that I've had a few months to play with it, and have no compunctions now of hunting with it anywhere, though we've not had the opportunity yet.
Aloha....
