Does anyone own one of these.  What are your experiences with them?

Had one about twenty years ago ... Fine looking finish n fit ... traded it off for something else that caught my fancy.
  Shot well enuff for a sash gun ... I remember it had a bit of kick with heavier loads. Never tried shot out of it ... it has real light grooves.
  Ya really need one  ... I had no problems with mine.

I have had one for several years.  Mine is a Navy Arms which is also made by Pedersoli.  It has sat in the box in my closet for I guess seven or eight years.  When I decided to shoot it I was cleaning it up prior to using it I noticed the vent is drilled into breech plug.  Last week I droped it along with my Euro Arms 1803 Harpers Ferry Rifle at John Zimmerman's at Harpers Ferry to have them both defarbed.  He is going to see what he can do with the flash hole.

I have one and it shoots good. I would like to sell it to get a smoothbore. Just because I don't have one.
