My gun club has a category in their monthly matches called "trade gun". However the only criteria for the match is as follows: 54cal or larger, smooth bore, flintlock, and no rear sight. So trade guns, fowlers, fusils, brown bess, etc, all qualify. Would prefer a rifle stock and not a straight stock like found on shotguns. Will be shooting PRB 95% of the time.
I am a shooter, not a collector, so I'm open to any gun that meets that criteria. Being a shooter, and avid hunter as well, that will most likely mean carrying the gun afield and getting a few nicks and dings along the way. Because of those things listed, I'm not looking for anything fancy (aka expensive).
I've set a max budget for this at $900. That may change for the right deal, but I'm leaving some room for the supplies that I will need as I currently only have caplocks 50cal and under.
