Looks separate to me, for $132.99 and no scabbord - not a good price at all.
: US Brown Bess price + exchange brings the Pedersoli Bess almost to $1,100 CDN. That's $400.00 more that the Heritage gun - so I guess I'll stick with the Sea Service - but I do wish now, that I'd held out for the '56 model. (in some ways, that is)

Yes- thanks, BUT - I've been this route before and although it sounds GREAT and workable, unless the US price is less than 1/2 the amount it is up here, any item will cost more, by the time it is received here. Even sent as a gift, once landed in my hot little(big) hands, than the same article purchased here at the exorbident prices will equal the total cost of the item purchased down south. The exchange rate really hit that one a good stroke.
: That is, take the US price, + shipping at US dollars, multiply by 1.4. That equals Canadian dollars. Tack on another $5.00 for customs handling 'charges' then tax it once at 8% and once at 7%. The final amount will then be about the same as the Canadian retail in Canadian dollars. I expect the same deal happens with stuff shiped to Australia and New Zealand.
; Now, as far as muskets go, they cannot be shipped here period, unless to someone already with a firearms import licence. Now, flintlocks don't need to be registered up here, but they ares till classed as firearms and have to be shipped to a holder of an import licence as wellas an FFL. So, a visiting 'friend' could forget their's up here - no problem as there is no paper trail of it required, but cap locks and all other guns have to be registered THROUGH a firearms dealer, including flint pistols, and that's the inflexible rules on that.
: Now, many people didn't register any firearms, and some people didn't register ALL of their firearms & some people didn't re-register their handguns, so they really don't know where they stand on this, however anyone out hunting or at a range shooting, must be in possession of the registration papers for THAT or those particular firearms or they are forfeit and your house searched and any others found will be confiscated before you can contact anyone, as you will be confined. Different areas might have different policies in place at this time. This is the worse case senario by the letter of the law.

Let me remind everybody, Loyalist Arms sells Pedersoli... I went through Jim Brown and for $868 US I got the musket, bayonet AND scabbard, plus that wonderful man threw in one of his hickory cleaning pump rods!!
Oh, and since Loyalist Arms is IN Canada, they have no issue shipping a Pedersoli to there. They just ship the lock in a seperate box.
Forget Cabela's and the shipping nightmare that would entail, :imo:call Jim Brown!

:m2c:It is bad enough to put up with the actual exchange rate & our devalued $ because a BANK decides what it is worth today, but to have to pay a Canadian outfit an extra 21% is ridiculous. I was going to buy their Sea Service Musket instead of the one from Mil/Heritage, as the retail price in US funds was within $5.00 & someone said they were better quality.
: I merely thought we should be paying the same price, which is $540US and $689.00 CDN- Instead, the CDN on this musket is $831.60- I just won't shop where I'm being ripped off. Loyalist is charging me an extra $140.00 to shop in my own country. How's that for being loyal. That's some great outfit that rips off their own.
: On top of that, Mil/Heritage put theirs on sale for another $40.00 off.
: Sorry about the previous remark - it wasn't called for.

Pedersoli Company is on vacation during the month of August, Davide Pedersoli & C. emailed me just the other day...
But dealers carrying their product should have them in stock throughout the summer in preparation for hunting season...
Not really racist, more just plain 'ol fact. If ya can find any firearms that once belonged to a French Military unit, you should be able to get a good deal on a Once Fired, Once Dropped rifle. ::

Appology accepted I know how you feel. But dont blame people that settled in eastern Canada and northern Maine 300 hundred yrs ago for modern politics. We all came here from somwhere well half of my family did anyway, the other half has always been here. I have family on both sides of the border French,english,and indian. I don't belive franco americans,native americans,english,german,or any other race has showed dishonor or cowardice in battle for Canada or the U.S. Alot of blood has been spilled on this continent and in foriegn conflicts by all races. And its all red.
This is the smoothbore forum and I apologize to musketman and the other fine people in the forum for going off thread. But I did not like the hostility that I contributed to. This is not the place, we are among friends .

So, how about that Pedersoli Brown Bess at Cabala's?
At that price, Maxiball can buy us all one... :thumbsup:
I should just pick me up a bayonet, I don't have one for my bess...
Besides used for reenacting, are bayonets practical in this day in age?
Would you use one during deer season?

Ahhhhh or :hmm:,long range aperature sight- eh? Nice fine front-sight-bayonette lug, though - needs slight refining itself.
: Mine got replaced with a small, curved-base with round bead silver brased on, similar to the sight I came to love :redface
n the .69 English rifle. One of these days, I'll get over to Brad's house and take a few pictures of it. I've misplaced the mantle pictures I made almost 20 years ago.
