That cleaning took a whole lot less effort than I'd envisioned. Simpler times.

I did notice at about the 5 minute mark that the fellow is barefoot- That is going authentic.
The producers name is Townsends and he is a Colonial Era enthusiast on youtube.
This is an interview with Mike Miller, custom flintlock builder, its too bad I can't afford any
of his muskets. Oh and in the video he's barefoot too!

Blessings,
