I found a pretty good deal on one. Has anyone used one or know of the pros and cons?

I have a Euroarms 1803 Harpers Ferry rifle in 54cal, great gun, very accurate, too! If you can find one, buy it! :grin: BF
They do now. There is one listed on Gun Broker.

Pedersoli MAKE the bEST REPROS. I HAVE HAD 3. I would jump on it if the price is right. would be great for hunting.
I would need to see more evidence to back that up.
What do you mean they do "now"??
The gun is obviously an older example, not new. Their is no 1803 U.S. rifle as a part of the current Pedersoli lineup, of that you can be most assured.

They make a Harpers Ferry 1816. If the listing says it's an 1803 by Perdersoli, it's incorrect.
I don't see a Harpers Ferry 1803 made by Pedersoli but they do make a 1816, .69 caliber musket.
This musket is a full stocked smoothbore.

There were no 1816 Harpers Ferry recreations of the 1803 Rifle made.
As a side note, there were additional 1803 rifles made in 1814 by Derrenger and R. Johnson of Middletown, Ct.

I only found one 1803 repro on Gun Broker at an outrageous starting price ($1,175.00) and a very dishonest description; "A VERY EARLY CUSTOM HAND MADE CLASSIC" Item # 688722272, it's a Navy Arms Zoli.

I bought one of those brand new from Navy Arms in the mid 70's and had a terrible time getting a good spark, eating flints and poor accuracy. VERY poor lock geometry on it.

I saw that one too. I looked at the one I first saw and it appears to be a Euroarms. I stand corrected on the Pedersoli question. I will work with my Zoli.
