Hi Adam...and everyone else.

The State of Pa is somewhat of a throwback. Of course there are more sidelock guns there. They require flinters in the traditional season...so what are the retailers gonna sell.... sidelock flinters.. But tell ya what. Go to most any other state and you will hardly see any flinters for sale and very few sidelock guns. As I said..I enjoy the sidelocks..but am going to shoot a Savage with smokeless myself. Hate to clean the darn things for certain. And I am after all just enjoying more time hunting. I am now up to 28 Savage guns since July and if I could get them in a hurry..probably 2 more. I don't miss cleaning them but I really did like hunting with the Hawken. It was easy to carry and no scopes to worry about..but I'll use the Savage. Not even 1 customer asked for a sidelock gun...and I make it known I have them available. They all want inlines such as Knights Remingtons etc. Oh and by the way...I do not sell any of the cheap Wally world specials. Most are junk...and some are dangerous..in my opinion of course!
