Yes, I've been bitten by the BP bug in a major way, last week, I only shot five PRB's out of my T/C Black Mountain Magnum before fouling began to make loading difficult (left the cleaning supplies at home) today we have a torrential downpour that's lasted all day, so range time is a wash today, perhaps if tomorrow is nice I can get some range time in....
anyway, while I was at KTP this afternoon, I was perusing the used BP rifle racks, when a rather interesting inline caught my eye, nice reddish stained stock in good shape, decent bluing, bright bore with good rifling, a little corrosion residue around the bolt area, but overall, I'd put it's condition at around 95%, looks to be a Model 95....
I know inlines are not "traditional" and they inspire either love-or-hate reactions, but personally, I don't really care, as long as it's a BP gun, I like it, be it sidelock, inline, break barrel, flinter, whatever, they're all fun, so let's keep the "Inline Hate" out of this thread, please
Basically, I'm wondering how the Nork M95 stacks up, are they reliable, unreliable, accurate? any idiosyncracies I should know about?
the asking price is $90, not bad when the average used BP arm in decent shape there sells for around $125-130ish, and your average T/C sidelock in decent shape starts around $150ish
Oh, and there's also a used CVA Electra there 99% new for $185, normally I'd be hesitant to use a firearm that relies on electrics/electronics to function, but when I think about it logically, one advantage of the Electra design is that it doesn't need caps/primers/flints as the ignition source...
