Anyone know anything about the Middlesex Trading village trading Companys English Dragoon Pistol?

They said it is made by an Indian Company that has been making flintlocks for 50yrs. Indian?

I can't say that I've seen anything from that area that is quality.

Thanks for your input.

I have the Middlesex Village 1756 Sea Service.It's similiar to yours.
The lock is OK,but slower than a Siler.I had a front sight installed and replaced the wooden ramrod with a synthetic one.I've been using ~50gr FFg Goex with equivalent volume of shot or a roundball from .570 to .600 so far.Not wonderful,but it'll suffice-and it was cheaper than some others.
I'll be trying it for grouse and rabbits in winter.

I notice you're using .570-.600 round balls. Friend of mine is looking for a source for .595 round balls. Can you tell me where to get them? Thanks.

:-) Off the top of my head I would try Track of the Wolf. Lotsa good stuff,and he seems to have about everything that I have ever needed if I could not make it. Stay safe....King

I thank you very much for the info. The Track does have .595 round balls. Life is good.
