These guns are made at various factories in India, and are sold by Military Heritage, MVTC, and Loyalist Arms. MVTC and Loyalist both sell shootable version (touch holes have been drilled through), while Military Heritage only sells "non-firing" versions (no touch hole in the barrel) so they can get around bans on the imporatation of shootable firearms that exist in some countries. Actually, I think Loyalist will also sell you a non-drilled-out version or a gun and lock seperately for the same reason. In any case, these guns are shootable. There have been numerous discussions of these guns on the Forum in the past, and the general concensus is that, while they aren't up to Pedersoli workmanship levels, they aren't too bad, and they are generally worth what they charge for them.
I have a Heavy Dragoon pistol from MVTC that I'm quite fond of. It's a bit rough around the edges, but it's perfectly funtional.
The trouble with a lot of stuff made in India is that their quality control is notoriously bad, so that you may get ttwo muskets from the same lot where one is beautiful and solid and the other is a piece of junk. If you're looking for a shooter, I'd go with MVTC or Loyalist, as they both sell their guns to be shot and so are more selective in picking and choosing only the quality pieces and sending the duds back (and even making their own in-house adjustments and final finishes on them); whereas, Military Heritage seems to be aimed more at the wallhanger crowd. :thumbsup:
