Reading through some of the builds online people have been shooting them. One guy in England had his gun proofed at the royal proof house. They tested it way over normal shooting load.I intend to load way under the normal 120gr load, more like 70gr. I'm interested in seeing if I could get the barrel proofed anyhow... I passed on a $700 Pedersoli repo in October, been kicking myself ever since.

Please remember, that these very old guns are intended for display purposes. IMA does not recommend restoration of these antique firearms into "shooters" and any attempt to do so should be inspected by a licensed gunsmith before firing. https://www.ima-usa.com/products/original-british-east-india-company-p-1771-brown-bess-flintlock-parts-set-nepalese-gurkha-marked-lock Pedersoli has always made great shooters, but what was cheap in 1970 is getting pretty pricey today: http://www.dixiegunworks.com/product_info.php?products_id=3525 _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
