Antonio Zoli?

[Lawdog]

I have an opportunity to buy an Antonio Zoli Zouave rifled musket. Are they decent?

 

[towgunner11h]

Yes. Solid firearms, and accurate with a properly sized Minie ball.

I went and bought it today. Gave $100 for it. I figured it was worth at least that in parts but it's in pretty decent shape. I'll post pics tomorrow.

I had one was a good rifle, that was a very good buy.

Yes- bought mine around 6 years ago- paid $175 for it - you got a steal!

Size the minie right, use real black powder and a good lube and it can be quite accurate.

Sorry the pics are late and please excuse the quality also.

Got a nice pouch and powder horn with it too.

You only paid $100 for it?

I've seen those range from $350 to $550 asking price -- and selling in-between.

Take some of the $$ saved and buy a lottery ticket!

I have one of the .58 cal half stock carbines called the Buffalo Hunter. Zoli are well made guns.
