not cheap

@FlintlockMilitaryRifle definitely not cheap.

I forgot to say that I have a max of 1K. The last feldstutzers I saw sell were in the 650 range. They were shooters in good condition.

Shooting my feldstutzer side by side with my Swiss vetterli has shown me they shoot exactly the same. If you can't find one, get a vetterli and single load it!

If you do locate a feldstutzer be sure you get the proper bullet mould for it as they are hard to come by especially if you want to get good results out of it.I have a Vollmer 1851 feldstutzer reproduction and it is one of my favourite guns

Gunbroker right?

Going by the pictures the one on Gunbroker is the goods, if I hadn’t spent all my allowance on a Starr 1863 Army pistol I think I’d be after it, even with all the hassles of getting it into Australia.

Yes sirs, it was Gunbroker. Not an arsenal built rifle, but rather a civilian piece by Sebastian Diem of Mannheim.





Seller claims 2” groups at 100 yards. We shall see.
