Hello,
Longtime lurker looking to finally pull the trigger on a smoothbore / fowler flinter. Rifled barrels also welcome.
~30 inch barrel
~50 inch overall length
10-20 gauge
Premium condition or fine
Considering the Pedersoli Brown Bess Carbine (trade length) or Indian Trade Rifle but have read testimony against frizzen heat treatment and other lock problems on Pedersoli's rifles.
With the availability of Kibler or Chambers kits I'd wait to get a long gun. Something shorter and smooth seems to fit the bill. Would be used for anything from small game to minor tracking / stationary deer and bear.
I'd rather keep money in the pockets of others who enjoy the craft and history than send it overseas.
Any owners of a similar style rifle or musket of fairly recent construction and firm qualities willing to part ways please consider. Suggestions and advice appreciated.
Thanks for looking.
