Have you bought?

Have you ever bought a traditional muzzleloader simply because you liked how it looked without regard to it’s historical correctness?

Yes,
My first two: a Tower Jap flintlock pistol (60s) and a Dixie Gun Works 45 cal Roman nose flintlock rifle (1971). Had no clue what was historic. Didn't care either, I wanted a muzzleloader!

Yep, historically correct isn’t a concern for me.

 

[TDM]

Ditto what @Larry (Omaha) and @Stykbow said.

 

[Banjoman]

Some of mine were/are somewhat historically correct, I guess. Some of them are just ‘hunting correct’.

By Jove, I think I just coined a new phrase!

Yes, my first was an investarms bridger hawken. I now know it’s nothing like the real bridger hawken but I still like it.

Yes.

 

[azmntman]

Yes. Im into black powder and accuracy so they all look good to me till I get to the range then if no good, I give it 2 more trips in case it was me and they get recycled.

I purchased this one just because of the stock color. After selling it learned who Kammerer was.

 

[azmntman]

Aside from the barrel wedges it’s a ringer for a CVA mountain rifle, beautiful wood.

Yup, I don't think the Pedersoli Frontier is a copy of any particular period rifle, I just like it.

That describes all of mine that I own or ever owned. I got started in this in '74 specifically to hunt. I soon found I enjoyed match shooting and just getting together shooting with others. Lately I'm aspiring to non production guns and am on my way to getting started with a bunch of parts.

I built my first last year, I bought a 10 yr old sitting fox kit that had been poked at. The stock and barrel were solid, I learned a lot. It’s an awesome shooting ritoofle that I learned from. I gathered parts to replace what was needed or what I wanted in particular. Do it, you’ll be glad ya did.

I bought one (Frontier in .45 recently just to see how it was made. That is because I'm making a long rifle flintlock from parts from Pecatonica (No instructions came with dem par-a sah za.)
