ACW 12 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) Kind of "off the wall" here but maybe someone will want it or have a Garrett to get rid of. Traditions Frontier Flintlock .50 Cal bore 1/48” in excellent condition. Price: SOLD + actual shipping cost Will use as a partial trade for a Garrett Sharps Carbine or will buy the Garrett outright.

Brazos John 227 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 This might be interesting. How long is the barrel? What is the overall length? Does it function as it should? Has it been shot? Have you shot it? I see it has the set triggers. How is the action? What else might you tell me about it? Thanks, Brazos Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes and I'll include 30 or so round balls with it I see it has the set triggers. How is the action? Works great - Just like you would want it to. What else might you tell me about it? Light - 7 Lbs - Looks like it has never been used - well taken care of Thanks, Brazos Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brazos John 227 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I like it. I'm a Colonel in the Texas Army, and we do reenactments and salutes at events, representing the Texas Army of 1836. We have an event in Conroe, Texas on Saturday for Texas Independence Day, and I want to get some opinions on the historical accuracy of the rifle from other Colonels. If the rifle fits the bill, I'll be taking it. I'll be back in touch with you late Saturday, or more likely, Sunday. If you sell it in the meantime, well, I understand. But if you can make a list of other buyers, and hold it for me until I reply, that would be great. It might be a lot to ask from a seller, but maybe it's no big deal, either. I'll be back in touch on Sunday. See you down the trail, Brazos 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brazos John 227 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Howdy, A, if I can call you by your first initial, I had a good time at the Texas Independence Day celebration in Conroe. We met descendants of signers of the Texas Declaration of Independence, and showed off our camp and equipment to lots of visitors. We fired salutes to past Texans and current first responders, and the cannons shook the trees. The visitors took lots of photos, and the kids had really big smiles when we let them hold our rifles. In Texas, this is still politically correct. A couple of Colonels agreed that this flintlock would be fine for the time period, so I'll take it. I already sent a PM. Thanks for your patience.
