[rugerplinker23]

i know i am in the wrong forum for buying but i figured this was more firearm specific i am looking for a percussion rifle 50 cal preferably but others will be entertained i am not interested in inline just percussion i am in IL looking to pay no more than 200 thanks for putting up with this post

so your looking for a traditional percusion at around 200. Not an inline. Well my friend i think everyone is looking for that. Because i dont know of anyone who would not jump on that.

The peoples republic of kalifornia. Where you cant find those kind of muzzleloaders without spending a fortune. Then trying to hide it from Arnold and the women in the Brady bunch.

Wow I was doing my Pawn shop scroungeing 2 years ago ..and ran into one that had 50 side lock rifles for sale ..he wanted to get rid of them because he said every one wants the inlines no side lock ...I went through what he had and bought 5 Thompson Hawkens 50 cals ..for 50 bucks apiece ..sold them for 200 bucks each to friends ....went back for more and they were all gone . I`m still looking for deals like that ..but the side locks are getting hard to find .

bought 5 Thompson Hawkens 50 cals ..for 50 bucks apiece

The only time I can find deals like that is when I'm flat broke.:rolleyes:

Five guns at $50 each and I'd buy them too. I'd set up a rifle battery too just like a Requa Gun of Civil War fame.

[scrat]

i would have bought them all. dont know if i would have parted with them. but i would have bought them.

scrat. going to a local show in am sunday if knew what brand of ml you were looking for would try to pick one up cheap, never know what shows are going to have but if could get good deal willing to pick one up iff don't hear from you will let ou know what they are going for.

[sundance44s]

Only reason I parted with the 5 Thompsons was ...they were all 1 inch barrels ..I can`t hold the dang things up ..I`ve got 2 with the 15/16 barrels and they are much lighter ..both flintlock .

i am still looking and it was my fault for not being more specific in the ad but i am looking for a full size rifle just because i plan on mostly putting holes in paper at longish ranges
