    Italian made flintlocks

    What the H does it matter,sturmkatze???? Why does anyone think a newbie just seeing if this is a game they might like has to start in w a kit??? It's ridiculous. The fastest,easiest way to jump in BP it to buy a rifle and start shooting,NOT to order a kit and take on a build. I'm beginning to...

    Italian made flintlocks

    Funny,a check of the Kibler site shows the longrifle kit more expensive than any of the Pedersoli flints i've purchased, and that's BEFORE I add the extra cost of the lock

    Italian made flintlocks

    I didn't say you couldn't do it,I said w-out any experience you probably won't end up w as nice a piece as a new manufacture. There's nothing wrong w what the factories are putting out.

    Italian made flintlocks

    This whole "build it yourself" mantra is just silly in my opinion. Most of us don't have the skills and the tools to do that kind of job ourselves!Gunsmithing and stockwork skills take practice and many times of trial and error to learn. More times than not,someone who orders a kit will just end...

    Jaeger Rifle or Long Rifle ?

    In my opinion,with patched round balls, a 50 would be a minimum. As to jaeger or long rifle,pure aesthetics. Which do you like the looks of. To carry and handle in the woods,I'd stay at a max of 36 in barrel. JMO

    I talked to the shop..They refused to go beyond 54 cal rifled in a 1 inch CVA 50 barrel. I can only speak to what the man told me. As for a smoothbore,I'm not the least bit interested

    WANTED Taking a flyer

    Taking a flier here...Have been watching classifieds closely. I have been searching for a .62 cal Flintlock rifle. Jaeger or English Sporting style. Just a good,well built hunting gun,not expensive,carved,or inlaid beyond a patch box or so,but there seems to be very few of the larger bores...

    The Thing About Flintlocks

    I grew up with an original Percussion in the house so I've always been familiar w BP.. I bought myself a few more over the years and always enjoyed them. Now I've bought myself a small-bore flinter for X-mas this year 'cause I've always wanted to try one,and have fallen in love all over...

    Trying to figure out which rifle is more hard to come by if I dont buy it

    Buy the 62....62 rifles are as scarce as hen's teeth on the market! I know,been looking for months. 50's are a dime a dozen
