If you want a real muzzle loader get a flintlock. Lol! I love it! I shoot both flint and cap. I always go back to the flint. They make you a better shot thats all. For me there more interesting. Now if pedersoli would just make a matchlock!

How much does it cost for a basic one? also if I was to buy one from you, how could you guarantee that the shipping would keep the gun safe and on sight. Also would you help me get started with making ammo and stuff for the gun? Like I need help knowing what black powder to get, the mold and size to get. Also you wouldn’t need to lube this bullet would you? And how is the best way to clean one of these guns?

If you want a real gun get a flintlock? What’s wrong with percussion? Percussion shoots just as well as a flintlock if not better.

Beautiful craftsmanship, thanks for carrying on the tradition. Can you build me on left handed? Just a joke, can’t afford one. But great to see there are real gunsmiths still out there.

I realise you build flint locks, but would you consider building me a .50 cal percussion or cap lock ? I just want a plain Jane with a 1 in 66 barrel twist for roundball. I never see the Traditional style in my area anymore they are all inline modern composite crap. Not my idea of black powder . Though I have friends that speak highly of them.

@QuickJedi93 Actually, its Black powder and there aren’t many restrictions on black powder guns almost anywhere in the world, he has recently shipped to Austria and other European countries.
The only thing you might have problems with is the ivory inlay, he may have to use false ivory, but it looks just as nice:)
If you want one, I would go ahead and into it, Im sure he would ship one… Im very happy with mine and the’re great fun… and like I said, there are nearly no restrictions!

Wow! The only gun I was ever interested in is the flintlock. The physics are so pure!
