Hello, was just at a local gun show and someone had a 58cal smoothbore full stock flintlock for sale. The guy told me this was Tips own gun that he used I do not know if this is true or not. The gun was made in 1998 he was asking 1000.00 for it . Can anyone tell me who Tip Curtis is I have not heard of him does he build good guns and is this way to much for a used gun. And could anyone tell me how I might contact Mr. Curtis Thanks bowfish.

Bowfish,.... T.P. "Tippy" Curtis is/was on the "board of directors" for the NMLRA, I believe his phone no. is:..... 615-654-4944

You could call him for any information 'bout the rifle!! (I'd think thet $1000.00 is a "fair" price)

Hi
My friend tells me he has a store in Nashville specialising in MLer building supplies.
Can't tell you where though. Long way from here.

$1,000 is a good price if gun was his and it's in great shape. I bought parts(Jaeger) from him the last time I was in Friendship, Indiana, cost me over $600 just for the parts.
