RCM Flintlock

Have any of you heard of an RCM brand flintlock, with Green Mountain barrel ? I was told that it was a good one to consider, but can't find one thru any distributors, nor Cabela's, Gander, etc.
Is there such a creature , and if so, what's the reputation, quality, etc.?
Thanks,
Charlie

Maybe a couple of letters got switched? Try looking at: http://rmcsports.com/catalog.htm
I believe they have several models not listed on the website

That is where I saw the name, they are from RMC the flintlocks shown are composite stocked modern sighted types with streaks of blue, yellow an pink designs in the stocks..it looks to me like the designer licked the wrong type of toads and ate some funny mushrooms. If a person came to a 'vous with one of them there would not be a dry eye in the crowd..........from tears of laughter.

Clash of the generations...

Old style merges with the modern materials.

"Yup, I've seen it before."

Remember the composite bows?

I recall my first recurve bow circa 1968 when I was in high school it was a Herters "Farbenglass" I suspect that fiberglass was the material used but Herters was funny in that way. Composite bows do go back a ways there were some Western NA tribes that used horn, wood and sinew to make a composite bow of sorts..seemd to me the Mongols used something like that also.

Some of the Native American's composite bows pulled at over 200 pounds and consisted of senew and buffalo horns.

These bows were small in size and had a tremendous over-draw on them.

Russell and Remington show these bows in many of their paintings.
