I've been shooting a percussion cap for about 15 years, not very serious, but enough to learn a little about it. I wanted something to add another level to hunting. I once owned a CVA Bushwacker percussion gun and loved it with the shorter barrel. For me it was a great deer hunting gun. A while back I was searching the net and found a site that had the Bushwacker in percussion and flintlock. Now that I'm ready to buy I cannot find the site anymore, but in looking have ran across several comments that cause me some concern. I've read in more than one place to stay away from the "economy" flintlocks from Traditions or CVA, etc.
So I have 2 questions, the first being could anyone validate or dispute what I have read about these lower end flintlocks, and if they are alright, would you know anywhere I could find one. If not any recommendations for a good gun would be appreciated. I'm looking for a good carbine style gun that is easily carried and have a shot a friends flintlock a couple of times and really enjoyed it. To me to be able to take a deer with it would be the ultimate. Thanks for the help.
