Dear Gordon Of Many Smiles, and Lads who've shown an interest.

NEW (old) RIFLE - MAJOR PROBLEMS - NEED HELP & ADVICE!
Greetings, Gents. Thanks very much for your input. Please excuse the lengthy post, BUT, still need help here. I think we may have strayed a bit (pics of other rifles) from the fact that this rifle was presented here as a fine specimen, ready to shoot, rust free, kept in climate controlled...- LongJnSilver

Dixie you will get it
Ordered a Pedersoli Harpers Ferry flintlock (.58 Cal) on 7 Feb. - in stock. Email said, "In Shipping" delivery was to be within a week... or so I supposed. Drooling out of both sides of my mouth, I waited, and waited, and waited. Finally sent an email on the 15th.. reply, behind 4 weeks on...- LongJnSilver

NEW (old) RIFLE - MAJOR PROBLEMS - NEED HELP & ADVICE!
Dan and I had a long phone convo this morning. He has seen the photos and agrees that the rifle is not what it appeared - and is willing to accept a return and refund my money - but is having financial struggles at this time - thus the sale of the rifle. So NOT a "fun" situation for either of us.- LongJnSilver

NEW (old) RIFLE - MAJOR PROBLEMS - NEED HELP & ADVICE!
Thanks, ehunter. Good suggestion - an agreed-upon inspection period. Dan has been showing this rifle on the forum for over a year with many members commenting on it. I take his word that he was not aware of the cracks in the stock, though yes, a close inspection should have revealed them. It was...- LongJnSilver

NEW (old) RIFLE - MAJOR PROBLEMS - NEED HELP & ADVICE!
Thanks for your reply. The crack is shown in the posted photos - as are the cracks in the stock - internal and external. The rifle was advertised as in perfect condition, so investing further in cutting the barrel off? or buying another barrel and having a competent gunsmith install it would run...- LongJnSilver

NEW (old) RIFLE - MAJOR PROBLEMS - NEED HELP & ADVICE!
Greetings all! Bought that beautiful full-stock tiger maple flintlock advertised on the forum a couple of weeks ago - maker W.P. Rush engraved on the barrel. The stock wood is to die for! At the outset, let me say I don't believe the seller was aware of these problems. First problem was that the...- LongJnSilver

Show Us Your Muzzle-Loading Guns, Rifles & Pistols
WOWZUH! Now THAT'S my kind of church! When I was a pastor in B'ham, AL, at our elders meeting of 8 guys, all but one carried. And before we opened in prayer, we'd all lay our pistols or revolvers (EMPTY, of course) on the table for one another to admire. Sounds crazy, but THAT'S THE GOOD OL'...- LongJnSilver

Hey, Daryl. Don't wanna pry, but do you mind if this old pastor/missionary prays for you? Got a CaringBridge site - Facebook - where folks can keep up with you? Thanks & Blessings, Johnny - LongJnSilver -- LongJnSilver
