Americana? I would wager it's made in Italy. I would be most surprised if it is made in the USA.

If I were to have a ML double I would want the Pedersoli .72 cal. It's a 12 bore and should do amazing things with round balls. Chasseur has a Pedersoli ML double in .54 cal. I have shot it. It's well regulated and accurate. Too bad not legal in ML season. By the way, the last I heard, he's looking to sell it.

The law allows inlines primed with 209 primers, stuffed with jacketed rifle bullets in sabots, and topped with variable power scopes. These rigs will produce ballistics similar to a .308 Win. Yet they won't allow a double flint lock, whether original or a reproduction. Nor a double cap lock.

I think the powers-that-be have totally screwed up the ML season. It originally was promoted as a season for traditional weapons. I think they ought to allow any non-cartridge (ML) black powder arm designed prior to 1890, or a replica thereof, and prohibit anything else.

But then again, Virginia just this year approved cross-bows during archery season. The game commission has its ear to the gun and equipment lobby, as the seasons are for no more purpose than to sell the newest whiz-bang arms and equipment.

Grrrrrrr!!!!!

Glad I got that out.
