MSVTC 1842

[nightwolf1974]

Since there is a continuing shortage of (or unavailability) of 1842 smoothbores from DGW, I'm seriously pondering buying one at Middlesex Village Trading company. Is this a good or bad idea? And yes, this will be a shooter/hunting gun.

I have never had any dealings with Middlesex and I love his web page.
I have heard lots of people complain about his customer service
I have bought from Loyalist arms, and have nothing but praise for them

I just looked up loyalist and they offer the 1842

You might look at reviews here about Middlesex Village before you commit.

Don’t…

Middlesex has a bad reputation

My opinion only but I think it would be a bad idea. I would go with Loyalist.

Dear Sir,
I have owned MSVTC, Military Heritage and Loyalist. I only have Loyalist Arms now. They are nice looking- the stocks are well finished and not the painted on shellac looking stuff. The trigger pull is generally much better as well.
The Higgins are great to deal with. I agree, go with Loyalist.

Yes I agree I have dealt with loyalist arms and Blair and Linda are really decent to work with plus they have a good price on flints also .

For the money a good shootable original may be your best bet. Keep looking on the interweb and one will appear!
