RE: Would you buy a use BP rifle for shooting.
i bought my tc 50cal hawken flinter used.....saved about half what they go new......checked it out good.....no rust...not even a dinged stock....rather low serial number too i think..bought it......went to shoot it...figured they were inaccurate from what ive heard from wanna be flintlockers....and man did them roundballs punch holes.....and mannnnn do they STILL punch holes.....one day im going to really goto a range with a bench and shoot groups......just gota check them out like any other used gun.........i shine a light in my touchhole when cleaning...lights up the bore nicely if you get it right......
