I was wondering if anyone knows about the muskets offered by a company called Loyalist Arms. I need to know if they are a reliable weapon for reenacting. Thanks for any info anyone has.

In short... no. Avoid them. I own S/N 2 of their Lorenz; it was largely defarbed by Greg Edinton, probably the most knowledgeable man on the subject in the world... Get something from Lodgewood or James River Armory; Regimental QM all do outstanding work. Pay the $ for a defarb; you get what you pay for.

Thanks for the warning, I had not heard of any info on the company, other than their name and web page.

But where else can you get a repop Lorenz?

There is noone making a quality Lorenz repop and for the price of fixing the Loyalist offering you can get a good original in shooting condition. A project I've thought of a lot recently is to pick up an African trade gun (Lorenz converted to flintlock) and convert it back to percussion. They've been all over the gunshow market for less than $800 lately. But the last year put the end to that project idea, at least for quite a while.
