He can definitely shoot.!! Mine is the same finish but in .44. I bought it about 10 years ago as an unseen used gun and although it
has a tiny bit of external surface pitting on the barrel and few marks on the fore end where the wedge comes out to remove the barrel
it remains my most accurate gun. The price was right for its condition and i wouldn't sell it for double what i payed. The trigger is a
joy to use and everyone who try's it comments how nice it is.

yeah i like mine too, better than my revolvers ah well

Hi

Just brought myself a Pedesoli Le Page .44 in maple from Henry Kranks yesterday.
Does not come with any suggested loading data info in the box.
On Pedersoli's website it says to use between 18 & 30 gns of Black Powder.
Also brought some of Kranks Fine Black Powder and some 435 balls & 10 thou. lubed patches.
I see you are using 18gns with yours & 15 gns of semolina.
What Make of powder are you using & what results are you getting.
Will shoot mine for first time tomorrow from 15 or 20 yards.
Is it worth using semolina to pack the charge out Kranks said I didnt need to, just powder Lubed patch & ball.
I have read online that the semolina helps seat the ball better & helps clean some of the fouling in the barrel.
Anyone have an issue with the trigger screw undoing itself over time when shooting?
Finally is it best to remove the barrel every time to clean it, does the wedge knock out easily?

Disaster at the range today.
Fired one shot & the nipple broke in two leaving half still in the barrel.
Staff at the gun shop at the range tried to extract the other half of the broken nipple in there workshop,managed to unscrew it a bit but its still in there.
Didn't want to try & force it out myself so dropped it off at Norman Clark's Gun Smiths in Rugby.
Had to leave it with them as they were busy. Said it might be a five minute job or take an hour to sort, and that they would fit it in with there other jobs in the next week or two.
I am hoping they take pity on me & sort it in a few days.
I own several black powder firearms, taken the nipples off hundreds of times, never had anything like this before. Think it must have been a faulty nipple to break like that.
The Gun Smith said he has seen it before & says its caused by people dry firing the gun in the shop?
Spoken to Kranks they are sending me a couple of replacement nipples & I am waiting to hear back from the Manager.

Very frustrated shooter!!!!

Now you'll keep a broken screw/bolt remover in your possibles bag, right?

It usually takes less time to remove a broken nipple than it does to read what I've just written.

He can definitely shoot.!!

The shooter, Balász Németh, is the Hungarian national #1 BP pistol shooter, and runs a BP-specialist store in Budapest - see his website. They are THE main Pedersoli source in Eastern Europe, and are FAR better at getting parts than anybody else I've ever dealt with, even the well-known dealership in Yorkshire, as Mr Németh represents Pedersoli in shooting sports at the international level, up to the level of actually organising the 2016 MLAIC championships in Hungary last year - see Youtube again.
