SOLD NEAR MINT Unfired Pedersoli .50 KENTUCKY Rifle

[BigSkyRambler]

SOLD. Up for sale is a basically New, NEAR MINT, unfired, Pedersoli KENNTUCKY Rifle in .50. Barrel is 36", so my original designation as a "Pennsylvania" rifle was incorrect. Twist Rate is 1:48. Based on this, lowering price. Wood is flawless. Metal would be flawless if not for a scratch above touch hole. This occurred during shipping. Frizzen snapped due to hard hit. Thank you FedWrecks! That was the extent of damage, thank God. I got a replacement from Flintlocks, Etc. and it is good as new. Photos say more than I can. $600. SPLIT SHIPPING.

Is that in fact a Pennsylvania? How long is the barrel? Pedersoli offers a series of guns that are just about identical except barrel length. The Scout has the shortest barrel, the Kentucky is mid-length, and the Pennsylvania has the longest barrel. Of course there is nothing for frame of reference except the buttstock and lock - but that gun looks like the Kentucky.

BSR, how did you harden the new frizzen? I believe replacements come soft.

Pedersoli locks/frizzens do not need hardened. They are ready to use straight from the box. This includes replacement lock parts.
Good luck with your sell Rambler. Nice rifle.

Looked at all of the Pedersoli offerings. It is confusing. Differences in TGs. The Kentucky rifles seem to have patchboxes. This has a 36" barrel. So may be the Kentucky. Looking closer the Penn rifle has a 41.5" barrel. My mistake.

I did nothing to it, as it is visually identical to the broken one. Do they need to be hardened on complete rifles from Pedersoli? If it needs to be hardened, I suppose I can do that. Or let buyer do it. Just read a thread on this forum on the subject. I will do a file test and see if I can find a small flint to test spark.

 

[BigSkyRambler]

Found a small pistol flint. Sparks fine.

Fast moving morning. Further research and a couple of PMs and I realize I have this priced at the Deluxe Kentucky or Base Pennsylvania rifle price. See updated ad above. Thanks for all of the input.

That is the version of Kentucky rifle that Cabela's or other chain stores offer. It differs from the ones sold by DGW. They did not have a patchbox, but do have double set triggers. I owned one and have since sold it. They are not a bad starter rifle. And, this is not a bad price either. Just my two cents.

Lower Price.

Wish it were a percussion

Wish it were a percussion

$130 at VTI for percussion lock. You could sell the flintlock for more than that, as they are around $170. Something to think about.

 

[lonewolf172]

That may be possible but all total more then I can afford. Good luck selling it.

What's the twist rate?

 

[William Lincoln]

That is a low price for a near new Pedersoli Rifle.
They are getting harder to find in that condition.
Thinking on it.

Rifle just sold earlier this evening. Sorry, folks.

 

[BigSkyRambler]

Deal fell through. Still available.

Hi. Thanks for letting me know but way outside of my budget.

What's the twist rate?

1:48, according to Pedersoli.
