...would you fellas say a Pedersoli Kentucky/Pennsylvania or CVA Kentucky rifle, with the curved buttstock, originate from? What time period was this style popular and where? Thanks! James

The school of cheap mass produced muzzleloaders. They don't fit in any school or historically correct style.

I thought the OP's question was a fair one. Some people have what they have. Maybe what he has is not as PC as some others have....but then neither is mine, a T/C Hawken, another cheap, mass produced muzzleloader, which also fits no school or historically correct style. I'm happy with it, and the people I meet who have something similar.

Your inference is unwarranted.
The question was indeed a fair one. It was merely about schools, and the replies were honest.
In no way, shape, nor form did anyone criticise the topic rifles as "bad" nor as "unacceptable", and in no way, shape, nor form did anyone suggest that the thread poster was inferior for owning such, nor was it suggested that any of the responders had anything "better".
For example, I own three Thompson Centers, Two CVA products, and a Pedersoli tradegun. None match any of the actual "schools" discussed by gun historians.

The post that caused mine to be written was a critical, condensing reference to the fact that the OP's gun was not up to the agost standards of even being considered to be of a particular school.
I equate Dave's post with criticizing a man's bird dog, or child in a football game.
