Re: Buying a 115-yr old homemade flintlock
Thanks for all of the advice. I decided to let it drop. He just texted me this evening, asking if I was still interested. I told him no, that I had gotten some advice from friends who are knowledgeable about flintlocks, and they weren't seeing an $800 rifle. He just responded with "Np thx" That's a pet peeve of mine, people who can't be bothered to send more than a few characters.

For $800, I'd consider this:

And it's from Pa too!

Re: Buying a 115-yr old homemade flintlock
Didn't even ask what caliber it was? You better buy a cheap one and learn more about them.

Re: Buying a 115-yr old homemade flintlock
Go to Dixon's in Kempton, Pa. They'll likely have a dozen or so high grade custom made examples for sale. Only cost a little bit more than the one you were looking at and a bargain when you look at what just the parts kits for sale cost today. A real antique long rifle is an object of art in today's world. You don't shoot them. High end recreated examples have been made for decades and worth every penny being asked.
