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

[randybublitz@juno.com (RANDAL J BUBLITZ)]

I have bought several guns from Cabellas.  Their patterson, available
intermitantly, is fine. It is made by Uberrti.  I also bought a Harper's
Ferry 1803.  I have it from an expert that it is about as good as a
factory version gets, as far as Harper's Ferry goes.  I've sold them
both, to buy something else that ' I 'just had to have'.  The Patterson
was bought for $250,  The cheapest from a dealer was $325.  Same gun,
same maker....   A friend bought the Lyman Great plains, in flint, and
enjoys it.  It has a coil spring in the lock, so is not authentic, but
'who will know'? Caveat Emptor...let the buyer beware..........Hardtack
