Yeah it weighs 35lbs! Its a 2" diameter barrel at the breech
mine will be 1.5"barrel breech so i hope ita lighter maybe 25lbs lol
.i think the flintlock mechanism will be real cool to learn on. It shouldnt kick to bad at that weight with 4-5oz loads. Probably start with 3oz loads with 150gr of 1fg powder
And keep moving up. I tell you one thing those turkeys got it coming! !!!!!
