SPECIAL NOTES FOR SIDE BY SIDE MUZZLE LOADING FLINT LOCKS
When using the flintlock double barrel shotgun you must pay extra attention during
shooting. Starting with the hypothesis that both barrels are loaded, ready to shoot, when firing
the first barrel, the flame could also ignite the second barrel, setting the shot off. To avoid this risk,
we recommend leaving the pan of the second lock unprimed, while firing the first barrel.
Also, ensure that when both hammers are in the half cock position and the frizzens are closed,
that all components should be perfectly parallel. Should the flints be in contact with the frizzens,
they can consequently be slightly open, which is undesirable. The solution is to knap the flint with
a small hammer, of non-ferritic material such as in our Flintlock tool set USA 513. This operation
must be performed with both barrels unloaded and placed in safe position.
