Good Evening,
A couple of questions here:
-Are the days of relatively inexpensive, used rifled muskets basically over? I remember a few years ago seeing used Euroarms or Armi Sport Springfields and the like for maybe $300-400. They were not in perfect shape, but definitely serviceable guns. At the time, I did not buy anything in that range because I had other interests in muzzleloading. I am reconsidering now and looking at used rifled muskets, but the prices seem to be much higher now, at least in the ones I've seen. Has something happened to drive their prices up?
-Has Pietta reached the point that the internals in its reproduction revolvers are better than Uberti? The conventional wisdom for years was that Uberti was a step better, but my latest Uberti was a bit lacking, and then I saw someone who studied internal parts hardnesses and found the Uberti internals were all softer than the Pietta. Has the Pietta use of CNC machinery made them functionally equal to or better than Ubertis generally today?
Thanks
