I tried creating another thread but it hasn't come up, not sure why. Anyhow I'll try again.
Basically I was wanting to know with all things being equal what are the key differences other than the lock and the comb drop?
Have been wanting a fusil but they're almost non existent in this part of the world. I'd do a kit but I've has to accept I have no time for it at this stage in life. I'd try buying a finished gun but I just want a well functioning plain stocked gun with no fancy work and everything I see for sale by makers is intricate and expensive as all get out, especially when converted to my money.
The other reason I ask for a comparison is that I've been offered am English style 20G smoothy which is really tempting me. I'm not a re-enactor or anything, just liked the idea of a French smoothbore as a nod to my French heritage. But as I said it will be nigh impossible to find here so not sure whether I'm better off just buying this other gun.
