hellfirehannah Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I've seen one kit at Dixie Gun Works, but its a percussion not a flintlock. Has anyone else ever seen either kits or replicas for sale? I know this one would need some modification but I'd be willing to make it work and the price isn't bad IMO but I would like to know if anyone else has seen anything different. Thanks for your time.

Please do yourself a favor, and don't waste your money on this thing. It is very poor quality, and poorly designed. The term "piece of crap" comes to mind. It's safe enough, and won't blow up in your face, but that's the best I can say for it. I have not seen a quality reproduction duckfoot available in my many years of dealing with this stuff, other than very expensive one-off custom pieces. A real duck foot has more than three barrels usually, and sometimes more that one row, one above the other. You should be able to find some good images of originals by looking on GOOGLE images to get an idea of what they should really look like. >>>> Cascabel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellfirehannah Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 I was afraid you were going to say that. I was thinking I might have to get a custom one done as well but I was wanting to know first someone else's feelings on that particular kit. Thanks so much for your opinion and letting me know that one kit was pretty much it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of which is called the "Cutlass Pistol", and I can't recall the names of the others. >>>> Cascabel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
