Steve,
There are several pinfire sporting rifle and shotgun shooters on the Nitroexpress Forums. The gentleman who wants information could also try the British Internet Gun Club Forum but they are a pay to join forum and are not inexpensive. However, they are officially supported by the Birmingham Proof Housee, so that is a big plus as far as getting historical records etc is concerned.
Hope this helps!

Greetings from Texas,
Thanks Steve for posting this. I had run it awhile back and got some good responses for anyone interested, but there is always room for more.
For years I have passed over pinfires at gunshows thinking “neat, but I could never shot it.” I have changed my mind about that.Please rate this comment: 0 0 -

Prussians used Needle-fire, not pinfire. Completely different.

No, and I’ve never been able to learn anything about them either. I was told that the Prussians had great success in battle thanks to their pinfire rifles, but I wasn’t given any idea as to what that meant.
