The Mi-Val looks like a decent choice, but I only saw two on GI and sadly the better of the two was sold pending funds.

Just about anything will be better than what I bought, which turned out to be a Huglu finished and proofed in Italy by Pedersoli. Needless to say, I'm never buying a Pedersoli again.

Does anyone have any experience with the restored guns from Heritage Guns in the UK (working through MacNab in the US)? They've got some lovely pieces for sale, including a Joseph Lang with a long LOP I've got my eye on.
