We'll just wait. Meanwhile you could tell us more about what you wished you had. We all have our own preferences. What are yours?

From what I have seen so far, something like a fusil de chasse is what looks the nicest aesthetically to me. I would like to get a rifle for deer (and maybe bigger game in the future, but deer is what I would be primarily hunting). I am still trying to learn more about the different schools of rifles. Are there any good resources for that?
Right now my plan is to get a kit from pecatonica river since they are around the same price as a pedersoli, but I feel that I might get a better quality gun (and be more proud of it) that way. If anyone has any recommendation on pecatonica kits, it would definitely be appreciated (or advice on a fusil de chasse smoothbore vs rifle for a first flintlock).

Welcome from New England.
Welcome, from North Carolina! You could do worse than Pedersoli…
What do you think of their Pennsylvania and Frontier rifles? I like the aesthetic of no patchbox, but I also like rifles that have a sideplate and both of these models just have something like a washer for the lock screws.
Maybe I could get a kit version and add a full side plate myself.
I own a .45 cal Pennsylvania Dixie Rifle from the 1990s and a .54 Blue Ridge (a blued-barrel version of the Frontier) from 2019. I like them both a lot. The Pennsylvania is a more “delicate” rifle than the Frontier/Blue Ridge (but a lot of rifles would be, because the Frontier/Blue Ridge is a beast
). I don’t have an issue with the lock screws, but I am sure you could inlet the stock and add a lock plate if you so desired.
