Good news. I talked to them today and they said it would ship tomorrow or Friday. It was the last one that was available in 54 cal. And since they stopped importing that particular gun and twist to the USA I guess I'm lucky to get one.:biggrin:

That's not true, several years back pa aloud sabots in those flintlocks and I quit using round balls and started using sabots in my Flintlock. And yes I use 2F and 4F Goex in my Flintlock. As a matter of fact, I'll be doin that this Saturday.😛😉


Sabots in a flintlock.......cough...gag.....snort.. puke....gak....

I bet that if they had them in the 1800's they would have been very popular.:biggrin:

The point is they didn't.

Maybe they wouldn't hunt at all if they had super markets too. :p

After shooting 25 plus Deer with 50cal round balls, I would NEVER recommend anyone use them on Deer size game. The saboted bullets I use are much more lethal,accurate and consistent. I will continue to use the best bullets I can to harvest any big game animal I decide to hunt.

If I had to use them I would probably go with a 58;)

Hard to believe an expanded RB through both lungs is not enough that starts at 1/2".

Pa deer must be pretty tough.
