I just unboxed this new flintlock pedersoli GPR rifle from Midsouth Shooters supply this morning ($782) First off I will say that I also have a percussion investarms made Great Plains I purchased new last year for comparison. Upon inspecting this new flintlock signature series GPR all I can say is wow! There is no comparison when it comes to fit and finish between the Pedersoli made one compared to the investarms one. The investarms GPR is a very nice utilitarian rifle. It shoots like a dream. The trigger on it was replaced by a Davis deerslayer because the factory trigger sucked. All the inletting on it was overdone, too deep and in general pretty bad. Now on to the Pedersoli GPR. Inletting on it is darn near perfect. Every detail on the Pedersoli GPR is pretty much perfect. I don’t have an investarms flintlock lock to compare to this one but this a vary large lock. The touchhole alignment is spot on. The trigger is as good at the Davis deerslayer I have in my other rifle. FYI..the Davis trigger will not fit into this signature series rifle. The trigger group and trigger guard is totally different. Set trigger pull is very nice without any adjustment needed. Rifling is not as deep in this rifle as in the investarms gun though. The dark black blueing on this rifle is perfect on all parts. I would much prefer everything to be rust browned but for now I’ll leave it as is. The wood on this rifle is a nice piece of walnut. The modern furniture grade finish on it is blasphemy in my eyes. That will get stripped, stained and oil finished. Pics to follow.
