I've been curious about one of these for a while and after some research decided on this, a trade gun .62 smooth from The Muzzleloader Shop and Loyalty Arms. Called on Aug. 15th and arrived today the 20th. The shipping box was very nice but the real prize was inside. I'll try and post pics! I think the fit and finish is very good, as good as some of the Pedersoli's I've seen. It arrived with touchhole pre-drilled and proof fired by Mr. Reber. It throws a nice shower of sparks, almost enough for a small 4th of July celebration and I'm very happy with my choice! Now I need to save up for the British Heavy Dragoon as a companion piece, awesome!
