Congrats on the trade ,if it shoots as good as it looks you should have a real Gem. :thumbsup:

A acuracy report would be nice when weather and time permits.

What type of rifle is it?
I have a MK85 by Tony Knight is it the same?

 

[Shifty]

No it was a little 32cal traditional muzzle loader maybe -Blackfingers will post some pics after he recieves the gun.

Isn't great to have those classified here? They really work. :rotf:

What got the thing going was the seller wishing for a Pedersoli NW Trade gun, which I had and shot very little. I'm getting into smaller calibers these days and liked the rifle offered. Mine shipped yesterday, the seller should ship his today, we have history and was fun to reconnect. :wink:

Right now the .30-.40cal. segment seems to be growing in popularity. Takes less powder and lead and still makes a hole in the paper. Since I mainly shoot on my backyard range, I don't need a shoulder cannon to have some fun.

Sounds like a trade that was right for both of you,that should be a fine little rifle.

I didn't know it was on market myself....I made that rifle in 1980. All 5 of my kids 4B, 1G learned on it from 5 yr. old, first on cross-sticks sitting. Montana barrel co. 32 cal. X 36" 13/16" oct. A block of quilted maple I picked up off a blanket at a shoot, as well as a TC flintlock. Set trgs and all brass trim with a silver patchbox with a squrril on final. Did a little craving on it to pop the wood. A great shooter that'll shoot all of 'em into a quarter inch group at 25 yd----from a bench, or sticks...Here's a few pic's.....Tom
