In case anyone is interested, <b>sgc_meltdown</b> sent me an interesting article on the subject of flintlocks, and <a href="http://www.howstuffworks.com/flintlock.htm">how they work</a>. It's a really nice read, complete with a little history of them, diagrams of their parts, and so on. <p>Thanks <b>sgc_meltdown</b>!
