Hunter did a real quick check of one of our wholesalers on that .50 cal flintlock aronnd 400 plus shipping.thats not even one of are better whole prices shure we can get it cheaper yet.No we dont have a shop but we sell from my house to keep the price as cheap as we can.Just got tired of paying those high prices for guns and other gear.We figure if you want to buy a gun you know what you want and we give the price take it or not theres noo overhead to pay for.my son sells plenty of guns that way.just wondering whereyou were got your price from.glad you have a good sense of humor about the problems that we have.bigkentk
