Seems I have found a Pedersoli Hawken Target Percussion rifle in .54 or .50 cal from a site in Germany.
It is a lot of money, but about the only decent affordable ML I can find.
Still waiting from feedback from a couple of other companies, but it seems to fit the bill. The shop rep said in an email that the .50 cal would be even better, taking lead ball, but also saboted bullets for hunting (although the legality of BP/ML hunting needs to be confirmed it is good to have the option).
Most importantly it is pre-1870 in design and therefore exempt from local gun restrictions.
So would this be a good all-rounder ML for a noob to BP?
