So I really am trying to save up for a decent (first) flintlock. I like my Traditions Hawken Percussion (50cal) just fine, but really want my first flinter.
Calling around and my local store has a used one (Traditions Hunter) for just under $150. I don't know if that is just too good to pass up.
If I go check it out, to make sure its not just going to be a wall hanger, what can I look for? Is there any way to gauge the condition without bringing a ram rod and some patches?
Be nice.....
