Some BP questions

I can buy in Canada....

Plus there is a Pedersoli dealer here in Alberta too.

AND...a flintlock is considered an antique firearm under Canadian law so no paperwork or license required. A percussion model needs a license to buy. But flints are completely off the radar. Not even classified as a firearm. Weird huh?

So if flints are not classified as firearms then can one bring it across the border.

[RanchRoper]

Hmmm, have to check that one out. Don't know for sure how that works.

Antique firearms are not considered firearms for licensing and registration purposes, so you shouldn’t need any paperwork. You should still declare them at the border crossing. Antique firearms include any firearms manufactured before 1898 that are not originally designed or redesigned to discharge rim-fire or centre-fire ammunition; long guns manufactured in 1898 or later that are reproductions of flintlock, wheel-lock, or matchlock firearms; and firearms that are classified as antique by regulations.

Ive got that exact rifle in 50 caliber in my basement. Its like brand new. Think I have shot it once. I bought it used it has a couple of handling marks on it and a spot in the brown on the barrel . But nothing is that noticeable. Its still a good looking rifle.

[RanchRoper]

Is that the one you posted pics of a while ago?

[RanchRoper]

I pm'd you.

Late getting here. If you get the flintlock as Al said only use real Black Powder. I use 3f in the rifle and 4f in the pan. One pound of 4f will last you a life time. You don't use much. If people tell you to expect a noticeable lag in trigger pull to firing don't believe them. I have used only flintlock for over 50 years and they go off with no perceived delay. They are a blast to shoot also. Biggest mistake most make when shooting a flint is not holding the target through the shoot. Have fun.
