Well yes, most of them are good people - but we have our black sheeps also - same as you guys (pointing to DC...)
I am not offended in any way - sorry if my post leaves that impression.
And I am NOT defending Inidia made muskets - my post did not point in that direction.
All I can tell you is what I have learned about those guns while working on them and using them over the years.
We hab the discussion here about the Pedersoli Bess and many of the experts here (which I am definatly NOT!!) have pointed out, the Pedersoli Bess is by all means not OK for either FIW and AWI!
India made muskets offereing you the models you cannot get - at least not in my part of the woods - whitout spending 1000s of $$ on it.
theres no heresy
a few fellas i know purchased from middlesex, his muskets are not assembled well. The problems are internal parts are not case hardened screws are not tempered so theres lots stripping, breech plugs are not fit well..... dont get me started on his stocks, he uses some type of sticky shellac mastic as sealant. I know plenty of gunsmiths who dont recomend middlesex. The shop get my supplies at has had the same middlesex musket for sale for 4 years, the owner of shop cant the lock to work rights. Absolute junk.
