OK you did say factory assembled so that leaves outafter marketGreen Mtn. barrels.
#1. T/C Hawken 50 cal flinter. Can be used any season, any state. And plenty accurate.
#2. That's a tough one. But I think I would have to go with a T/C Hawken Cougar, 50 cal caplock. These had some really pretty wood and I think they are cool. Adn I do have a soft heart for well figured walnut and women..
#3. Actually, I think I would stay with the same choices I have made. I'm happy with the ones I have chosen.
