Dixie Tennessee Mountain rifle

Any opinions, good or bad? Might try trading for one in .50 percussion.

Thanks

I have one in .32 cal. I like the gun very well. Seems to be an above average shooter. Triggers leave a little to be desired, just my opinion.
My nephew has one in a .50 cal. It is a left hand, as he is a leftie. His rifle shoots well also. He has taken several deer with it here in Ohio. He has shot his .50 a lot more than I have shot my .32, but he has not had any problems with the gun. By the way, he is not known for the care he takes of his guns, if you know what I mean.
Good Luck - Mark

I have one, righthanded, in perc. .32...very accurate, but my bore was very tight...I broke 2 ramrods reloading in the field until an older and much more experienced guy had me run a bronze brush wrapped in fine steel wool up and down over the tight spot..a section of about 6-8"...this was very early in my bp experience, and I'd never heard of lapping...when I first got the gun, I could not re-load after the 2nd shot without swabbing...after the lapping, I could get 5 shots...if I came across a .50 cal one in a shop somewhere, I'd buy it...Hank

Good medium qualiy guns almost at the simi-custom level.

Not PC for pre-1800 events but good shooters.

Dixie made these as convertables so you can get the flint lock and vent liner direct from dixie, or L&R, and have a flinter for $125 +-.

Do not go hog wild and overpay for one, they are not that good or that scarce!

$400-$500 tops!

I heard Dixie was gonna discontinue sellin' 'em. :cry:

Thanks for the help. It's supposedly in really good shape. Might try the trade.
