Pedersoli Lorenz

Re: Pedersoli Lorenz

I paid $650 for an original, and i had to restore the middle band as it was missing. Still,a nice piece for the price. A repop would give peace of mind when firing than an original that has probably been tinkered with over the past 150 years. Mine was and I will not even use it for blank firing.

The photo is from before I restored it.

Re: Pedersoli Lorenz

I spoke to a rep at Dixie gun works they said there will be a prototype at Shot Show in January. So we'll be able to see what it looks like soon

Re: Pedersoli Lorenz

Any update on it?

Re: Pedersoli Lorenz

Nothing on D Pedersoli website yet. Shot Show in Vegas is still about four days off though.

Re: Pedersoli Lorenz

I have been keeping an eye on this myself. I will be anxious to see the results once this is made public.

Re: Pedersoli Lorenz

Very nice collection, John. I have been tempted to get more than one Lorenz. Something about muskets is addicting! I have too many already.

Re: Pedersoli Lorenz

Any news from anyone at shot show today?

Re: Pedersoli Lorenz

Bump? I hope they don't delay this longer.

Re: Pedersoli Lorenz

Still no news I presume?

Re: Pedersoli Lorenz

Dixie didn't have much of an idea. I contacted Pedersoli personally on Facebook and he said they would be showing the rifle in Germany in March and "production will start around summer".

Re: Pedersoli Lorenz

Hmm....starting to get the non-warm fuzzies about this ever happening now. Too bad....

Re: Pedersoli Lorenz

If there is money in it, it will happen. If they're decent reproductions these are going to sell, at least for a while until everyone who wants a M54 Austrian Rifle repro has one. Pedersoli is famously slow and haphazard about adhering to any kind of firm schedule around introducing a new model. The Enfield was around a year behind it's first new model introduction date. But when it came out, it was very good. So, if I'm reading this right, it will be mid-year?

Re: Pedersoli Lorenz

Keep the faith everyone. I asked Balázs Németh, who owns Capandball Firearms Store in Hungry and is a Pedersoli distributor for Central Europe, about the release date. He told me Perderoli will release their M1854 Lorenz re-pop soon. In the meantime, here's something to tide you over: Balázs' cool history / shooting / loading video about the Lorenz and its unique compression bullet.
