I can't remeber if this was covered before. 


Can muzzle loader flintlock rifles be shipped direct to your door here in Hawaii,  or must they go through a FFL?


Mahalo!

Make sure someone is home to receive it! Cabela's ships via UPS and requires an adult signature on delivery, not sure if other retailers are the same way.

Thank you!  Probably not very soon though.  :(   But I have been entertaining the idea!   :thumbsup:

Any suggestions on caliber?  What is the advantage disadvantage of the larger bores over smaller?  I'll probably use this for only target play, I want one that is extremely accurate.  Been watching a bunch of "capandball" on you tube.  This dude is awesome!

If you want to shoot it out to 100yds or more I suggest 50 or 54 caliber. Or larger. The heavier balls are more accurate at longer distances generally speaking. Pedersoli makes some of the best reproductions. If you are looking for a flintlock you will be shooting balls and not minie balls (Conicals). Since you are choosing flintlock make sure you get a rifle and not a musket. Muskets are not rifled. If you want to go caplock you will get better reliable ignition. Especially in our humidity. And if you decide to go with a caplock modern hunting rifle with a faster twist you can shoot minie balls and gain even more accuracy. And even mount a scope.

I have a Traditions caplock Kentucky Long Rifle (Looks similar to your video) in .50 cal. It is quite accurate. But I have a TC Hawken repro (sort of) which is a modern hunting rifle that shoots conicals and it can put some modern smokeless rifles to shame.
