Anybody have any experience with MilitaryHeritage and their flintlocks? The prices seem good but they come with unvented barrels (for shipping purposes) and some internet reviews say they have teak wood stocks, are made in India and stay away!
The last post I read about militaryheritage muzzleloaders was dated 2018.
Do any of you have first-hand experience ( Not what you have read or what you were told; but have actually experienced yourself ) with the current (2020-2021) quality of these India manufactured and imported...
Anyone know anything about the guns sold by these folks? I have seen them advertised in The Backwoodsman Magazine several times but never heard of anyone who owned one of their guns.

They are all smooth bore trade guns without the touch hole drilled...
This one came from MilitaryHeritage/Access Heritage. It was a fairly easy decision as, out of the half-dozen importers I am aware of, this is the only fellow who can a gun shipped off in under three months.
I don't know if you found all of the vendors but I see 3 advertising it.
Veterans Arms, MilitaryHeritage in Canada and Middlesex Village Trading Co.
There's been complaints about Middlesex in recent years regarding not delivering products timely and sometimes not at all.
MilitaryHeritage shows...
Loyalist Arms and Repairs typically carries some India pre-flint as well -- inspected products, good people and service.
MilitaryHeritage/The Discriminating General -- IMO they sell "seconds." They know little about what they sell and have useless customer support in my experience. Think...
they are a great militaryheritage pistol for about half the cost of an all metal sig. nothing to frown on really other than support of parts and accessories etc.
...and wanted to buy me a Christmas gift. I would really like another gun - probably a pistol - and definitely something with some militaryheritage as I really like military history.
So far my family has:
Long Guns:
DSA FAL
Romanian WASR
Bushmaster AR-15
Ruger 10/22
Kel-Tec Sub-2000
Mossberg...
Veteran Arms, Loyalist Arms, MilitaryHeritage and Middlesex are the ones I know of. I think they all come from the same supplier but I don't know for sure.
My Heritage.
Grant;
My Heritage looks like that of aaronrkelly above, except that I have the 9 inch barrel. I have fun with it at the plinking range. I go each month to watch the Cowboy Action Shooters at the military range out here in West Texas, and they use bigger calibres for bigger...
As do my Garands and my M1A. These are military rifles or rifles of militaryheritage.
Simplicity of manufacture and of repair in the field have to be taken into account when designing a service rifle.
Sticking to milspec ammo in these guns will probably result in you having a lifetime of...
If you look hard enough, every gun has a militaryheritage. Flintlocks, matchlocks, bolt actions, revolvers, and semi-automatics have all been used by the armies of the world.
While a search shows there's some recent discussion about guns from MilitaryHeritage on the Muzzle Loading Forum, it's difficult to generalize about the quality of all of their models because they make so many different ones and who knows how old they are?
Some could be sitting on the shelf for...
I like both, but the SP-101 is the one I'm most likely to have with me.
For a real "fighting gun", I'd prefer any semi-auto magazine fed rifle of militaryheritage to any handgun.
