I bought a British Sea Service Pattern flintlock pistol from the company at the link. Perfect replica, with Tower markings, in .62 caliber. Touchhole was not drilled so it was shipped to my Kansas home by mail. This company provided the pistols used in Master and Commander. After some advice from a friend on the size of the touchhole and the location, it went into my drill press and it was a legal firearm.

Flints, patches, leather for the flint, lead balls are readily available for the reenactment market. Black powder can also be ordered and shipped from Midway (MO company) with some shipping restrictions that causes you to order more than you really need, but that wasn’t a problem for me.

Shoots great once you get used to the delay with Black Powder. The also sell muskets and rifles, period pieces. High quality

Thanks! That is useful information. My dad had a musket years ago, which he sold. Still have his old black powder.
