RE: Why is it always your most expensive guns that piss you off???
Custom flintlock makers will not give you that full-lifetime, transferable warranty T/C has. I'm sure PittsburghHunter will get this problem ironed-out.. then his accuracy-woes solved with break-in and the right powder-bullet combo.
Besides, in this Bush day& age, few of us can afford the $500 T/C guns.... let-alone $1000+ for a custom ML with a limited warranty.
