1980's Centermark Fusil ?

[pronghorn]

I have heard plenty of good things about Centermark Fusils on this forum. I found one that was made in the 1980s by Centermark Inc. out of Pittsburg Pa. Is this the same Centermark that many of you speak about?

Thanks

In the 1980s the original owner was still there.
His name was Woodall or something similar. He sold Centermark to Paul Siebert in the early 90s
but i think the guns are essentially the same.
Some say the early ones are better but I have one by the current owner and couldn't be happier with it.

I have heard they are a quality gun but as with most French replicas of the type the barrels and locks leave a lot to be desired if historical accuracy is of importance but there are few if any pre-made options so most just "live with it" so to speak.

But thier slogan says:"historically accurate" :wink: :shake: :bull:

They still are a well made gun though.

I've got a few hundred bucks set aside. How much does a bridge cost nowadays?

Could someone post a pic so that us ignorant pilgrims can see what you're talking about? I have no idea what that gun looks like. :idunno:

This is not a Centermark but all the "Tulle" guns look similar to this in profile

"I've got a few hundred bucks set aside. How much does a bridge cost nowadays?"

OH....about a hundred dollars...

Ok, tg, I'm not as ignorant as I thought.

Next best thing. From Muzzleloader magazine, July/August. 1985, a review by Bill Scurlock. The owner of CenterMark at that time was Ray Woodall.

Here's one I picked up at a local gun show. The original owner, for some reason, added a brass tube in the ramrod groove to facilitate the use of an iron ramrod. Really strange. This looks to be one of the later versions, but not sure? Rick.

Thanks, all!
I think I know now about how they look. If someone had said "fusil", I'd have been ok. :thumbsup:

 

Hello, new here. I'm getting my Centermark Fucil next Sunday at the next Woodswalk Shoot. I was bidding on a new old stock Centermark on GB Auction, but decided to buy my friends instead. Barrel already bent for accuracy and a real great shooter. No s/h, no tax, delivered to the woods for me! Waddya think?
