I ordered a french fusil de chasse from Robert a year ago.He was very helpful and the musket arrived quickly and well packaged.It took alot of tuning to get shooting correctly. There are a couple of youtube videos describing the whole process. I wouldnt recommend everybody go this route unless very familiar with home gunsmith techniques. Robert supplies a good product at a great price. I love my french fusil and it would have cost twice the price for a pedersoli or three times the price for a custom gun. I ordered over the phone but I would not order without actually speaking with him personally he is very busy and the order may not be processed.
