Online Flintlock resources
« on: January 06, 2008, 01:48:36 PM »
I picked up my first muzzleloader this year (Knight Disc) and really enjoy it.  It's really a blast to shoot.  I'd like to pick up a flintlock (new or used) for fun and possibly hunting.  The problem I'm running into is finding a spot to look at them.  I can't find any for sale in stores here.  The ones I find online seem to be collectibles or pricey.  Are there any resources online to view and purchase flintlocks without breaking the bank?

 you can watch the gun action sites like auction arms  or gun broker .
 you can also look for  makers like lyman, pedersoli , traditions and Thompson center who all make flintlocks  in the lower price ranges
IE 500 down to 250 or 300

Try your local pawn shops.  Flinters seem to show up there pretty often.

If you dont mind putting time and effort into a project, Midsouth sells the Lyman Great Plains rifle Kit for $300.  I bought a .54 GPR flintlock Kit some weeks back and love the rifle.

I shot my deer stalker today went off every time and I am really impressed with this rifle.  I expect many happy day afield with it.
