Ya gotta go shoot it. Once you do the reluctance will pass.

I don't see that this example has been cited in this thread. It may or may not help, but thought I'd pass it along:

They did - early on then Val Forgett established the first Italian Manufacturers of repros.

Yea spend a little time surfing the web about Navy & Val Forgett - interesting reading!
I have a muzzleloader manual from the 1970's that has a pretty good story about him and several pictures.
