Over a Pedersoli Charleville?

I'll try that after it arrives. Well I want a 1766 Charleville, the options I got are: This one. A Pedersoli which I haven't seen any in stock. A Rifle Shoppe kit which I would send off to be built. An Indian made one.

No, the gun's in California and I'm in Texas. Asked the seller if it holds on both full and half cock and said yes. If it has some problems I'll have them fixed.

I agree, the gun shops I've been to the employees didn't seem like they knew a lot about muzzleloaders. Do you think the lock will most likely be fine?

Doesn't have any flint, I'd buy some from Track of the Wolf. It's being sold by a gun shop, I would think their knowledge on muskets would be next to none. It's a probate sale, he said he only has a small window to negotiate. Could I not replace parts with ones from the Rifle Shoppe?

Navy Arms markings are still present.

Ah

Did you ever check out the place Josh mentioned above?

I only see Charleville I don't the Fleur De Lie part. What do you mean the maker? It's a Miroku and imported by Navy Arms. Should I just buy an Indian made Charleville?

Would it be a difficult fix if it didn't spark well?

It's as is,

There isn't any flint in the gun I've been looking at.

Yes I know the 4 rules of gun safety: Always treat all firearms as if their loaded. Keep your finger off the trigger till you're ready to fire. Know your target and what's behind it. Never point a gun at anything you aren't willing to destroy.

Is this a common problem?

I want a smoothbore though.

Did anyone ever buy this?

What makes you say it's only worth have? The ones that have sold here recently were both 1400+, the lowest I've ever seen for one is $650 which sold back in 2021. The type musket of I want is a 1766/1777 Charleville/1816 Springfield/Short Land Pattern. Should I go Rifle Shoppe kit and send it in...

Good point. You think it's only worth 5-600?

I could always have the lock worked on if it isn't so good. I'll go for it.
