    These guys do great work. I bought a 10 gauge shot gun kit and all I had to do was smooth, sand and oil the stock. I can’t imagine how the stock could have been inlaid any more perfect. The metal all fit the stock perfectly. I am now going back for a Howda. Great craftsmen at pedersoli.

    I'll bet a lot of people would have been blown away AMAZED back when modern fireams began to emerge that in 2016 a bunch of already obsolete models would STILL be manufactured and sold for higher dollar than far superior modern designs can be had for....Obviously people had ZERO idea what was to come as they disposed of obsolete weapons rather than hold on to them as an inheritance for their offspring...

    Ok. I've been getting started with a Roger's Rangers impression, and I've been on the fence about dropping $1300 for a pedersoli brown bess, vs only having to shell out around $600 for an Indian made musket. Before seeing this documentary, I could not justify spending so much money on a musket. Now I get it. Pedersoli it is.

    A most excellent video. These dayze, some of the finest long gun rifles and smoothbores - both muzzleloaders and cartridge actions alike - in the world are made and offered by Pedersoli. In particular are their rolling block Remington replicas, of which no other mass produced versions can compare with Pedersoli - not anywhere. I have a pair of Pedi rolling blocks in .45-70 and a Pedi '74 Sharps Sporter #3, none are better by any gun maker - a tremendous value and superb shooters. Grazie molto, Pierangelo!

    I bought a pedersoli muzzleloader shotgun recently. Precisely it's the "slug" shotgun which I preferred because it has two cylinder bores which makes it easier to load being a muzzleloader. And I gotta say honestly I really like the feel of the gun, it's well balanced has a pistol grip, stock is a nice piece, materials seem great quality. However in my particular example the fit and finish leaves a lot to be desired. Trigger play in the right barrel trigger (not a problem in a shotgun but still), rear trigger isn't covered by the trigger guard completely. Trigger guard and trigger assembly are connected with one tiny hinge and they fit into the stock very tight so it takes care to remove it and put it back in in order to not snap that pin (hinge). I had to clean out the locks, trigger assembly and insides of the stock because after first shooting I took the barrel off and noticed a lot of dirt, shavings etc from production. Buttplate not sitting flush with stock in one spot (about 1mm gap, also not really a problem as I use a leather recoil pad to save the plate from scratching). And even tho barrels are accurate, well made, smooth and polished the bluing is really spotty. Even one screw for that strap on top where barrel hooks into has a hole drilled at the wrong angle so the screw head doesn't sit flush.
    Overall i really like the gun but small details like that leave bad taste especially that those are supposed to be basically premium guns. For the premium price.
    Sorry for a bit of rant, I don't want to discourage anyone from pedersoli guns, I just advice to take a close look at them like I failed to because I was in a hurry

    Very interesting. Now I know why you pay more for Perdersoli. Those finished stocks were utterly beautiful. How I wish I could afford one of their "top of the range" examples. Here's a thing. I happen to know Purdey and Holland & Holland get their walnut from Turkey. I can only think the reason Perdersoli get theirs from USA is because the guns they make are mostly of US origin and the American wood is more visually authentic.

    • @cesargijon
