Question Traditions 50 cal in flintlock

Are these any good? There's a brand new one in the gun shop at my father in law's for a ridiculously low price. It's the price that has me scared. I figure if it's that low it must be a POS.
Anyone here have anything to say about these?

they are fine. Most of the problems are the soft frizzens. Im using the factory frizzen with Pierce flints and it showers sparks. Get it!

I shoot a Traditions Flintlock but it had a different Frizzen. It sparks great and shoots great. The new better frizzen are $15.00 at Traditions.

Brand new and a ridiculous low price? I would probably have left the shop with the gun under my arm.

Why cant I ever find a gun at a ridiculously low, scary price??? I feel cheated! I have 2 Traditions Ml's. While they arent the most expensive guns they are both good shooters... the inline exceptionally so!
