Kentucky out of stock ,trapper on the way.

[Minuteman]

So Oct Co. didn't have the Kentucky kit like I wanted so I ordered the gun they did have a Trad. trapper 50cal in percussion. So what can you knowledgeable fellers tell me about this gun?

Great gun! We've discussed this model a lot lately. Do a search on 'trapper' and you'll find mostly positive opinions.

The only "not so Good" things I have seen or experienced are...
My factory nipple shattered after about 50 rounds.(its a 6x1mm)
a comrade had his rear site come loose.
I have seen 2 flinters break the main spring.

But they all shoot great!

I have a Trapper and love it. I built it from a kit. It compares very favorably to my T/C Patriot in accuracy and it has a lighter and crisper trigger. I've put a lot of rounds through mine so far and the only problem I had was the middle trigger adjuster screw worked out. Locktite both screws (one is behind the rear trigger, underneath the trigger guard)!

If yours is like mine, you made a very good choice! Enjoy.
