I need a quail gun for October and figure it's not too early to get started. I've been looking at a few of the off-the-shelf flintlock smoothbores available:
Pedersoli scout - a bit light for 12 ga and no ramrod
Pedersoli flintlock SxS - looks awesome, but maybe only the fancy one will be out late this year and the standard next year? Might be a gun for the future
Pedersoli Mortimer 12ga - a tad portly at 10 lbs.
French Tulle fusil-de-chasse - ToTW has a used Kendall Brady, a bit pricey for a field gun. TVM has the Tulle.
Pedersoli Indian Trade Musket 20ga
TVM Flintlock Fowler 20ga
I think I've got it narrowed down to the TVM Tulle, Indian Trade Musket or the TVM Fowler. Any advice?
