Semisane, I remember another gent posted that link a while back and when I got there the gun was sold. I would like a .54, put I'm really not in a great demand as of yet. Also in Montana I can easily find .50 round balls and .54 I would most likely have to order. Thats why it would probably be something down the road, like a year or so before I did something like that. With the deal on the flintlock and even buying a new barrel is still cheaper than a new Lyman. This would be my first sidelock ever, so I dont want to spend too much money if for some reason i find out its not for me. (Which I kinda doubt, but you never know). I emailed the guy asking for more pics so we will see what happens. Anyone else have any suggestions?
