Do it! I did so on my Zoli and cut the barrel to 26", retained the military band type setup, and cut down the rear sight to a nub. I want to replace the rear sight with something better, but as it is it is dead on. I had to shorten mine to get the weight off; my left arm is part paralyzed. Kept the sling but made a new one correct for CW era.

Can you post a pic of that? I'd like to see it...

I grew up reading Louis L'Amour. He often wrote of little heard of weapons, but one he often wrote about was the revolving Colt shotgun. I understand the revolving longarm was problematic, getting powder burns on the off hand, but I still think it would be cool to have one.

I've been thinking of cutting down a Zouave to make a Buffalo Carbine type...

my very first muzzleloader was a BUFFALO CARBINE that I personally bought from TURNER KIRKLAND at his booth at FRIENDSHIP,IND. and shot it at the range, also bought all of the things to shoot it from him!! it was a 23 hour drive each way, but well worth it! that was in 1964.

The one I had was a Navy Arms, sweet gun. Lost it in the 2014 house fire...

I’d like to see Kibler produce a Hawken Full Stock Hawken Flintlock Kit in 58 cal.

yes, I also forgot, the one that I got off of TURNER, was also a NAVY ARMS, imported by VAL FORGET, remember him? seems he started the whole thing?

I just wish TC or somebody would make the Renegade in 54 and 58 cal with a 32 inch barrel of good steel and give it about another inch or so in the length of pull.

Elgin cutlass pistol.....not that cheapie one sold years ago though.

For those who like an English SxS flintlock - this one is in what we would now call 16g.

Nice? Yup.
Affordable? Maybe.

Here in UK it cost just £3500 about five years ago. Now it, and the gentleman shooting it lives in France, as do all his other beautiful guns, muzzleloading and 'others'. Like many, he got totally breezed-off with the gun laws here, and simply moved on over to his vacation home in Provence, lucky man.

A .58 with a 34” barrel would be awesome!

WOW!! it must be nice! guess that is something that I will never experience or know??

I'd go for a long range sniper rifle from that alternative universe where percussion caps never happened.

Tibet?

As any of the UK-based shooters here might tell you, there are thousands of similar shotguns, SxS and fowling pieces too, on sale here in UK. How much you spend is entirely up to you, but figure on around $1000-1500 to get one that is actually in proof and ready to shoot. Next time I get to shoot a gun like this, I'll take pics for you all to see, but remember that friend Feltwad here has already posted a bunch of stuff on guns like this - flintlocks, too!

I’d like to see Kibler produce a Hawken Full Stock Hawken Flintlock Kit in 58 cal.

I'd also like to see Kibler offer the SMR in at least a 50...

Any WELL MADE (and affordable) wheel lock with a DEPENDABLE lock

You need to talk to Dr Balász Németh [capandball on Youtube] about that. He had a pair made for him by a Polish gentleman and posted his experience of shooting them on his channel. However, be advised that 'affordable' and 'well-made' do not fit together well when talking about wheel lock guns of any kind.



Imagine making a Baroque-style clock, with all its ornamentation and complexity, entirely by hand.

Twice.

I'd imagine that an offering starting into five figures might be considered.
