I have a Pedersoli LePage flintlock.
It takes a .433 ball. I find it loads easily and shoots best with a .010 patch and 20 gr FFFg Goex. I can get 1" groups at 25 yards from a bench. My pistol came with a separate supplied ramrod with bore protector.
The breech is a Nock patent breech. It is correctly sized and there is no need to mess with it. It is very reliable and very easy to clean. Besides the vent liner on the right there is a similiar sized plug on the left side (unvented of course) that gives you full access to the breech area for a thorough cleaning.
The barrel is hooked. The lock is held in place with a single screw. There is pin in the stock the engages the front of the lock (where a second screw would normally go). You just need to be aware its there when you pull or reinstall the lock.
I get about 70 shots per flint (3/4 X 5/8 English). There's not a lot of room front to back on the cock so you need the shorter flint. Generally, I don't have to do much knapping/adjusting as the lock just keeps on sparking until the flint is worn to a nub.
Unlike the percussion version the rear sight is NOT adjustable for elevation. Some European target shooting rule or other, so its strictly a file operation to adjust POI.
I can't quite get the trigger adjusted as light as I can the same trigger on my percussion LePage but its still pretty good. Just have to play with it. On my percussion trigger I did have to add some nail polish to keep the screw from backing out, but that hasn't been an issue with the flintlock.
All in all, good fast lock, accurrate and fun
