I've reached a point where I'm interested in trying to reconnect with BP, particularly as I think they'll get more expensive soon.

Please note, if there is a BP event at a local gun club, I may be able to shoot them so shooting is an option, but mostly it will for just looking damn fine in my hand or on the wall!

NB: if a gun is a replica of a 1870 or older design, I can buy it, unfettered EXCEPT if it actually fires a proper firearms cartridge ie rim- or centrefire.

I'd like to acquire one long arm and I'm looking at the following examples.

The Pedersoli Rolling Block Musket in .50 cal (Actually a muzzle-loader despite being originally a single shot cartridge gun and has FO sights!)

The Pedersoli Frontier Percussion Rifle in .50.

The Pedersoli 1859 Sharps Carbine in .54.

The Pedersoli Enfield 1858 in .577

If you have owned or used any of the above, please give me your opinions on them and any user advice you may have!

Thank you!
