I have a GPR in flint, and it was actually my first flintlock; shoots extremely well, has taken a lot of game, and won some contests as well. The only problem I had with it was the lock, and I did convert it from the lock that came on it to an Ashmore from L&R. Made it a much better gun, very reliable. The orginal lock was not well made, steel too soft, would not reliably spark.
ps: I also pulled the triggers-as double set triggers they did not adjust well enough to suit me. I found that (at that time) TC Hawken triggers were interchangeable, I had a set, tossed them in. I would probably work out a trigger replacement as well. So, I would recommend the gun, with a fairly early $150 to $175 upgrade (lock and trigger), :results:
