Something a little different from Allen Martin. A mix-master, Charlie Brown, AWI, restocked Musketoon.

Nifty. I never thought I'd see something like that come out of Martin's shop!

It's the Pedersoli lock (tuned by Brad Emig) that comes on a bog standard Pedersoli Charleville Musket.

I don't know if he signed it or not, but he did make it.

Episodic and not widely understood in the professional community (wink, wink)... but Allen is better now.

I really like the metal work on this rifle sets a high bar  - I have watched the video's he granted  I find his outlook refreshing Im sure a lot of his backlog is also indicative of his good nature to deal with .
Thank you Boone , Glass with all the contemplate I read with todays (shooter's lightly taken as such) , you keep things simple .
