Sorry to post a link to "that other forum," here, and if I am breaking a, or some, rule/s with this post I will understand it deletion. Need to know if this flintlock pistol is worth it before I do something foolish,,,,, again, www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/sitting-fox-pistol-62-or-20-ga-for-sale-or-trade.122287/Thoughts? I'm thinking of offering him $625 shipped. |

Personally, without handling it I wouldn't.
I've handled a few of their rifles completed and haven't been impressed. However that is me being picky. I wasn't impressed with a few details I find important from grain orientation in the wrist area of the stock and runout on the length of the forend.
Finish work also seemed rushed which is a killer.
Unless I KNOW who made it or who it's coming from it's a no go.

I absolutely demand images once she arrives. |

I'll post the best pics I can get. Will be seeking load advise as well. Plan to try her with both round ball and shot.
