I think I want to go pretty darned traditional (IE wood) otherwise I would just buy an inline, and I am not really interested in that at all. I think I am going to have to just start saving up and see about buying a used flintlock off of a pawn shop if I ever find another good deal on one. IE I don't want to pay the price of a brand new cartridge firearm (or more) for a flintlock. I spotted one this morning that was a beautiful hawkins reproduction 50 and emailed the person who had it for sale (on another site) He wanted $1200 for it. I am sure there are those that would pay that much, I just ain't one of them.

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
