Pedersoli info needed

[BamBam]

A friend of mine wants to sell a .50 Pedersoli; I believe it's the Tyron standard model. He asked me to put it up for sale on the internet. I don't know much about black powder rifles so I thought I'd run this by you experts.

He says its in very good condition but has a couple of places on the stock where it was bumped; no scratches, etc.
I'm going to pick it up Monday so that I can judge it's condition and take pictures to post.

I think that this model goes for about $575 new.
Is anyone interested in this rifle or know it's used value?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Here's what a new one is costing at Dixie:

Hopefully, someone with Adler's Blue Book of Modern Black Powder Values will chime in.

mbott,

Thanks for the info.
He only wanted $150 for it so I bought it myself.
Now I need to learn about these weapons.
Can anyone recommend any good boards or informations sites?

Hey BamBam,
Check out Muzzleloader mailing list. I don't remember the web site but just do a yahoo search for mlml. Great bunch of guys with LOTS of info.

Ed,
Thanks for the info.

Did you make it to the shooting range Saturday? I ended up with the rugrat and couldn't make it. Beautiful day too!
