If i lived out in the boonies far from civilization, i would want a TC Black Diamond along with a couple spare parts. The rest of the $500 would go for powder, sabots, bullets and caps.
There you go! Now we got someone thinking right
what good does a $500 rifle do when ya cant buy the rest of the stuff you need.
I have 2 flintlocks sitting in the corner due to no powder. What good is a flinter when i cant afford the drive to go get some?
I'll take my cva .54cal mountain rifle ($175) and spend the rest of a few small replacement parts and the rest on powder,patch material and caps. I mold my own round balls for it
