My LGS has a nice looking Thompson "New Englander, in 54 caliber on the rack. Gun seems to be in good condition. They're asking $155.00 for I think...something like that. That seems a reasonable price for it, but I don't know really.
Now, I'm not a big black powder guy. I know it's not an "authentic" muzzle-loader, but I'm kind of thinking about getting it to use a time or two for deer hunting. I've got a Thompson Seneca I've been enjoying for squirrel hunting lately. I'm not a real serious hunter these days, so I don't want to put a lot of money into a gun.
Anybody got one of these? Anything in particular to watch out for? Round balls work OK?
