Can anyone tell me anything about this rifle?

Just checked the listing on GB that I was watching.

Two of the rifles have sold for 125.00 and 130.00 plus shipping.

One rifle remains at 100.00 opening price with no bids and just over one day to go on the auction. Forty bucks for shipping includes about ten dollars profit. Seller is not requiring use of an FFL holder.

I was at an auction in Zephyrhills FL and one of the Kentucky rifles from CVA in poor condition went for 75.00. That auction has a reputation for attracting folks who are willing to overpay for black powder stuff. I stopped bidding at 40.00.
 
I ended up going with the Lyman Deerstalker .50 cal. It's in really good condition and I got it for $116.

I just got a Lyman Deerstalker from Midway. I paid more than that. :)

I'm new to BP, and love it. I just got it to shoot this morning after a beginner's mishap with a stuck bullet.

So, it has been said, but is worth repeating:

Welcome aboard from another new guy. I like it here, and when that Deerstalker fired for the first time, it was ALMOST as good as another activity I enjoy quite a bit. Though far less frequently, being old and single. :D

The folks in this forum are extremely helpful. And fun.

Just don't get too excited and take your clothes off to shoot.:eek::D
 
I shot it for the first time yesterday. Worked flawlessly. I didn't shoot very much because we just had an ice storm and it was freezing outside, but it was fairly accurate. I can't wait to shoot it some more at longer distance and experiment with different loads. I had a pretty large grin on my face the first time I fired it. I actually made my wife come outside and check it out I was so excited with it. She didn't think it was nearly as cool as I did, though.
