for what it is worth, that I am a firmly flint lock addict. But if I were to wander into the cap lock realm, this would be at my house. I purged my collection some time ago and sold one of these here. it is the one i regret selling. fine rifles. someone is missing out. I would buy it but exceeded 5k budget of parts this month and the Scots women I live with is threatening to remove body parts if i don't sell something.
