Did Pedersoli stop production of their 62 caliber Indian trade musket?

I have heard a while back that they stopped makeing the 62 caliber indian trade musket. Is this the case? I want to get one later on but getting new parts or a new frizzen that may be worn out etc worries me.

Just get a Kibler's fowling piece. Better gun by a mile and the same or less price! MUCH, MUCH more historically correct and would be just fine for trade gun style roles. It's based on imported English trading fowlers. Also, no super annoying (and historically incorrect) patent breech to fool with. Immensely higher quality lock, much more durable internals, the list goes on.

Pedersoli is WAY too proud of their guns. The value just is not there anymore.

The gun won’t look as good as that picture in person.

I second the Kibler Fowler. It's made in the USA and the things are very high quality for the money. Replacement parts are not gonna be a big deal.

The Pedersoli Indian Trade gun I had a few years ago didn't have a patent breech. It was flat as their Bess and Charleville breeches. If you are going to pay new Pedersoli prices, the Kibler is a much better deal. Sometimes though you can find the trade gun well under a $1000 if you wait. But if you are like me when the fever hits their ain't no waiting................
