The bigger the better for the bore. Historical accuracy is moot to me as I just want one. Why? I always have since I was a kid and I plan on getting one. The traditions kit looks hideous to me. I like the looks of the veterans arms or the sitting fox one. But research has me questioning if either are a good shooter. This is not for reenactments, but a shooter. Can anybody recommend me a good one, preferably at around 1k or lower price point? (I'd rather not go up, but I have wanted one for 30+ years so if I have to sell something to make it happen, I will.) As a kid, they featured prominently in the books I read of pirates and highwaymen and even in a weird Tolkien story (Farmer Giles of Ham.) Lets be honest, I want a functional toy with lots of fire and smoke and a lot of shot. It could get hunted with, but unlikely given some physical issues. Pure fun is what I am looking for and it is a silly venture. Basically I want to buy something I don't worry will blow up with sane\conservative loads in an insane size.
I am very good with tools and have above average access to some cool manufacturing tools, so kits are cool too. I don't care kit or assembled.
