Percussion Builders?
« on: September 17, 2018, 04:53:30 AM »
I know the VAST majority of builders out there focus on flintlocks but are there any makers out there known to make good and period correct percussion guns? I’m looking to commission a build for an authentic 1840s percussion long rifle but it seems few offer them. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Wanting to keep the cost below $2000 if possible. I am going for a style such as this:

Thank you,

Dillon

John Bergmann.

He will do it, and can probably do it at your price point.

That Van Teague rifle appears to be very nice.  Price ain't too bad either.
