Pete,

After everyone's input, and some more looking around, I have to say that the wedge would be a preference, but I would not overlook a pinned gun if it checked the right boxes. For example, take the Pedersoli Jaeger. Not too long, flintlock, .54 caliber, fast twist barrel, rear sight back closer to your eye, it has a lot that I like. Yeah, double set triggers, but it has a roomy enough trigger guard that you might be able to wear gloves, and in any case, a single trigger replacement would not be a big deal. Its not strictly PC/HC. Wouldn't matter to me, and it has enough going for it that the pinned barrel would not be a deal-breaker. either. I'd like to see one.
