Alamo Long Rifle
 

Picked up a Pedersoli alamo long rifle .50cal flintlock today at the gun shop and just wondering what its worth? I've found from as low as $670 to as high as $800. Just trying to figure out a fair price to re-sell it at.

Great shape inside and out, i don't think it was used much at all. You should see the sucker spark! holy cow it looks like one of those strikers you use to light your cutting torches. Pure white spark.

You're killing me.

I think you will find a practical selling price for a used Pedersoli Alamo flinter to be in the neighborhood of $400 - $450.

yeah thats what i was kind of figuring on as well. Man i love it though! The balance is so damn good, barrel is light and slender.

Why sell it? You bought it. The money is gone and you won't miss it a month from now. You don't have to feed it every day or clean up after it. Besides, after you shoot it a few times you might want to sell one of those CVAs instead. :D

i have my kentucky flinter which i barely shoot due to BP being harder for me to get. When i have it, i go through it so fast that it gets expensive. Just one of those deals you know. The 50-70 is another one of those deals LOL. I'd love to shoot it but that ammo im sure would really hurt me.

Is the 50-70 Trapdoor an original or reproduction?

original. This is the 3 band trap door. Im trying to research it but the 3 band seems to be a rare deal. Im at my sisters right now so this one will get a good look over once i get home and can use my tools on it and take the barrel and lock off for inspection for originality.

You can buy a 25 lb. bag ( 400 ounces - 175,000 grains - 2,058 85-grain loads) of Jacks Battle Powder (which is non-graphite 3F GOEX) for $275 shipped to your door. That should last you quite a while and costs the same as 100 ounces of that black gold you shoot so much of.

true and i may end up doing that. Just have to save the funds for it. 2 deer hunts left me broke.
