WITHDRAWN DP .50 Flintlock

[Seabee Chief]

This gun is new and has had less than 100 shots fired. I have given up on flintlocks and will stick to percussion. I have tried every thing suggested to have a consistent fast ignition to no avail and really don’t have the patience for it so it’s for sale. $600.00. My Dixie .32 flint will go also in another post. I will pay shipping.

I will take this. PM sent.

Well the transaction did not work out. So I think this is still available. I have no reservations or issues about the gun, it seems really solid gun.

You might want to check the box it came in or manual, what you're showing is Pedersoli's Kentucky rifle, not the Frontier.

I lo

ok, I checked on the company website as it did not come with a box. The Kentucky has the big ornate patch box at the rear side or the stock and adjustable sights. The plain frontier does not. I was told when I bought it that it was a frontier.

It's the stock shape that's different. Actually it's the Pennsylvania rifle.

Well brother you might be right. Kinda crazy but mine doesn’t have the patch box. But it does have the brass nose piece and the frontier doesn’t. Strange.
But thank you

The Frontier rifle has a 39 inch barrel and a long French type lock with a pointed end and a scalloped forend with screws holding the barrel in through the thimbles. This rifle looks like a Pedersoli Kentucky sold by Cabelas. The Cabelas model differs in that it doesn't have a patchbox and it has double set triggers and a 35 inch barrel. The regular Pedersoli Kentucky has a single trigger and a patchbox and 35 inch barrel. The Pennsylvania IIRC has a 40 or 41 inch barrel with double set triggers.

Hi Bob.. I just measured the barrel and it is 35 inches. So it must be the Kentucky sold by Cabelas. Thank you so much for the information.

Has this been sold or spoken for? If not I am interested. Thanks.

 

[Seabee Chief]

Ok guys. I stand corrected. Thank you Bob Hatfield. This is a Cabelas Pennsylvania rifle. If you can find one they list for 600.00-625.00 new. Since I have played a bit with it I will drop the price to $550.00. Again much thanks to Bob for helping me out.

The Frontier's stock does not have the Roman Nose stock. Among other things. I have a L&R Ketland lock on her, and it works great - if you want to change your mind. The DP Frontier comes in 4 flavors I know of. The un-brassed plain version with a Walnut stock, the De-Luxe with brass everywhere and a Maple stock, Then there's a limited special order from Cabelas that were un-brassed, but with a Maple stock (I got lucky there), and there's the Blue Ridge, Which I've never handled.
Unfortunately I have found an air-rifle (exactly the model my Da taught me to shoot with back in '78) and I'm committed in an auction.
If you still want to sell come month-end, drop me a PM. Might as well get me a Pennsylvania. I think I can fit her in at my place if I move my longbow somewhere else.

Good Morning. Thank you for the extra information. I’m learning all the time. You are the first to say you might want it. So we will see that’s the best I can do right now seeing how the heating unit at the house just went out last week

Yes, well it will be contingent on this German air-gun right in the immediate. Then we'll jaw and find out what you have there. If it has a 35" barrel, it ain't a Pennsylvania. That one's spout is round 40"
