YES I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER, I HAD THE BRASS CASES MADE, AND THE IGNITION SYSTEM I MAKE UP MYSELF ITS A BIT FIDDELY BUT WHEN ITS DONE NO PROBLEM AT ALL . YOU ONLY HAVE TO CHANGE THE CAP AND LOAD IT UP AGAIN. [ ITS BEEN VERY RELIABLE AFTER A FEW TEETHING PROBLEMS. ] THE BLACK PLASTIC CASES I REMOVE THE RIM AND USE THE SAME IGNITION SYSTEM, THE CASES ARE QUITE EASY TO FIND.

YES THE PIN FIRE WAS MORE POPULAR ON THE CONTINENT, ESPECIALLY FRANCE WHERE YOU CAN STILL GET A VARIETY OF CASES.
ITS IN GREAT ORIGONAL CONDITION, THE MAKER IS JOHN LYELL ABERDEEN WITH A 50 " BARREL AND WEIGHS JUST SHORT OF 13 LBS. ALL YOU CAN USE IN PINFIRES IS BLACK POWDER. YOU DO GET A FEW PINFIRES ON WALLS, SADLY THEY WERE USED AND NOT CLEANED VERY OFTEN AND RESULTED IN THIN BARREL WALLS.
AISTER, YES ARE GREAT TO SHOOT AND DOES WHAT YOU WANT HELD STRAIGHT. A BIT OF MESSING TO LOAD THE CASES BUT ONCE LOADED THEIR FINE, MAYBE SOMETIME YOU WILL SEE IT......... B)
