Thread: Black powder rifle

Hi im wanting to sell this Pedersoli Kentucky Rilfe on be half of my father and wondered if anyone here knew the value roughly

Cookie, are there any marking on the barrel, names, numbers etc? If so, another pic of them might be a help.

Pedersoli
Black Powder Only
Made in Italy 25888

@Carlsen Highway might have a good idea.

.32 .45 or .50? Nice flinter

$1500US new......well I was looking at cabelas today cheapest smoke poles were $600US up to 2kUS

.45

About $500-$600 depending on the rifling condition

click............... bang,
white stinky smoke in the sky
Fun Fun, blocking out the sun
shit hot sparks in your eye.
dang.

A cobber of mine is after a flint smokepole. I'll mention it to him. I'd be counselling him to offer $500 or maybe a wee bit more.

Yep was thinking same as maca 5-600
45 is very popular black powder cal
Should sell no worries I would love a flintlock all mine are caplock and bpcr’s
But im not in a Position to buy right now though
Be a nice rifle for someone
Though I wouldn’t suggest a flinter for someone new to muzzle loaders
They are fussy buggers

I have the same rifle Pedersoli Kentucky 50cal. Bought mine second hand in new condition 3 years ago with both the Cap Lock and flint lock. Cost $650. Another sold about the same time for $700 Flint only. These were on Trademe

Yours looks to be an older version. The barrels are now blued and have wooden ramrods: $500 - $600 would be fair. Browned barrel ,it may have been a kit so perhaps worth a little less.

Mate of mine who had a 50 cal one called it a flinch lock, as it was a bit unreliable due to a weak spring?. Changing from real flints to a piece of firestick improved the ignition immensely. It looks very nice and Im nearly tempted

Here’s one to that my gunsmith was making from scratch.


Good luck with the sale

Thanks all, that give me something to head to.
