Re: MtMan-List: Cabelas Flintlock -- Historically Accurate?

[hawknest4@juno.com (michael pierce)]

why do people think that cheep is better------you get what you pay
for---most production guns from itally or spain are junk and darn few of
them are worth taking inside the house to keep the rain from making them
a pile of rusted junk---if you prise your limbs you will get something
that is worth shooting and not a wall hanger----why do you guys want this
trash---
