[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 3668465, member: 13337"] Whatinnaheck happened to muzzle loading pistol prices!?!?! Now I'll admit that it's been at least a decade since I looked at a new one,,, But I was absolutely shocked at the prices they are asking. i recently hit a deer and have no car,,, A good friend of mine is ferrying me into town for groceries once a week. On the last trip he mentioned that he got to shoot a muzzle loading pistol,,, He went on and on about how satisfying it was to shoot it. He refuses to take any money for gas from me,,, So I thought, Those pistols are fairly cheap,,, I think I'll buy him one as a thank you. Man was I wrong. The cheapest I could find for a Lyman Kit was $293,,, If I want a finished pistol it's $349. Budsgunshop only has one Traditions for $223,,, That's the cheapest I've found When did this happen? Again, it's been a long time since I looked,,, But about 12-13 years ago I bought this same finished Lyman pistol from Cabela's for $119. Just a few years before that I bought two 1858 Remington revolvers on sale at Cabela's for $99.95 each For $349 (which is much more than I can spend),,, I could buy any of several nice .22 semi-auto pistols,,, Or two Ruger Wranglers at the recent sale price at Academy. i know there isn't any real answer except for rampant inflation,,, But I was so stunned by the prices I just had to post a rant. I'll think of a different thank you gift,,, Maybe one of those $99 Heritage revolvers I see on-line. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
