    Red face American BP rifles sorry about the Confusion?

    Going by the amount of email I received I don’t think I made it quite clear as to what these are!

    Apparently my original letter seems to have been misunderstood.

    My Rifles are ORIGINAL 1800-1870? B.P. Percussion rifles, they are not modern reproduction, and they are certainly not modern reproduction made to look like antiques.

    Which means anybody can own them, as they are Antiques, to look at, hang on the wall, fondle, whatever.

    You cannot shoot them not unless you put them on an FAC.

    However just to clear up whatever misunderstanding they may have been, I have shot most, if not all of them, when I took them out to France.
    I still have a few left out there a Mule ear for a start.

    I hope to get a few Photographs with prices up very soon.

    There is a Dutchman looking to exchange a brand new Hw100 for a BP gun, see http://www.luchtbuks.net/index.php?showtopic=17938

    While I assume your Dutch is not so fluent as it used to be, most of the Dutch speak very good English.

    Alternatively, I'd be happy to help you out.

    Cheers,

    Chris.

    Thanks Chris
    but I think he would want a modern in proof type BP rifle.
    I will have to take your word for it that he wants to trade an HW for a BP as I could not understand any of it.

    Not sure what an HW is worth either come to that

    Thanks Peter
