    A very beautiful pistol that needs care and attention much like any other pistol, to shoot well.

    As for asking if they are any good, that's a little like asking if Ferrari make good race cars. Shooters with the Pedersoli LePage percussion pistol currently hold most of the world records for BP target shooting, and have done for many years.

    Is THAT good enough for ya?

    I've got one in .36" and I'd certainly agree that they are excellent pistols. Happy to try to answer any specific questions...

    Nossir - by the time I got interested in another BP pistol, I was over my limit in this county. A friend of mine has the Kuechreuter pistol, and there are a few of the LePage style too in our club, so I have managed to shoot them over the years. Our local dealer has a few in stock, too.

    I had one for several years but sold it to buy another Ruger. Still miss it. I used 16 gens swiss in mine and it was far more accurate than i will ever be.
    Mate Ady has just bought one and hes well chuffed with it. More accurate than my revolvers but i just prefer six shooters. Cleaning was a doodle. Remove
    the barrel and drop in hot soapy water. Rod out and spray with oil. Remove and clean nipple every other clean and hey ho, good as new.! Tim

    personally i generally use spray 3 in 1 or WD40 which although not an oil as such does work ok.
    Others im sure will have their favorits too.
    Really are a nice pistol to use. Only problem i had was it used to bash my middle finger on the
    trigger guard if i didnt hold it clear when firing. I stuck a bit of foam padding on and that sorted
    it.

    Yes, he does, but they are not on it. I'll give him a call and post the reply, OK?

    EDIT - Fenland Rural Sports - has two Pedersoli LePage pistols - s/h - one in .36 and one in .44 - top class condition - £450 each. If you call them back, talk to Steve.

    I use either Ballistol or Legia spray. As noted, WD40 is not a lubricant, although it seems to be one at first - the letters WD stand for 'water displacement/disperserant'. It WILL gum up over time, and need a thorough clean before you shoot again. It is extremely good at bunging up the flash holes in both flint and percussion guns.
