The muzzleloading gods must have been smiling on me. If you remember I ordered a Pedersoli flintlock about a month ago and Cabelas shipped a percussion lock by mistake so I returned it no problem.
Well I just won one in an auction from a private collection for far less than half what a new one costs. The pictures show it in perfect condition. Only thing is that it's a .50 and I really wanted a .54. But what the heck - a .50 is plenty for deer. And besides, I have Bobby Hoyt making me a .54 flintlock barrel for my Hawken.
