I was up at Dixon's today and saw that he had a Middlesex Village Trading Co. Tulle Fusil de Chasse. It handled really nicely and I've been looking for a flintlock ball and shot gun, so I brought it home.
Weight is about 7 or 8 pounds with a good balance. The trigger pull is quite a bit lighter than my MVTC M1717 musket.
I'm thinking I may age the metal a bit to take the shine off.
The bore mics about .62 caliber/20 gauge at the muzzle. I bought some .600 round balls, along with wads and cards for shooting shot, and a 5# bag of mixed #8 and #7.5 shot. I'm planning to shoot it with round balls tomorrow, probably won't get to pattern it for awhile.
Range report to follow after I shoot it.
