Guest john5 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 i am considering buying a black powder gun/rifle , the rifle would be an obsolete caliber , what have you got ?,....... Quote Link to post
bshadle 5 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 That's a pretty wide open question. What are you looking to do with it? What sort of game do you intend to hunt or type of shooting do you want to do? Flintlock, caplock, modern inline? Off the shelf calibers range from at least .32 to .75 that I'm aware of and both larger and smaller in custom or semi-custom made. Are you looking for new or used? Not trying to stir anything up or give you a hard time, but there's a wealth to choose from in blackpowder firearms. Quote Link to post

bshadle 5 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Sounds like you're possibly looking for a black powder cartridge rifle, probably an original. Can't help much with suggestions on that. Pedersoli is making some decent quality reproductions of muzzleloaders as well as some of the more moderern black powder cartridge rifles such as .45-70 They do have a double rifle, their Kodiak Express, a percussion cap muzzleloader, that's available in various calibers from .50 - .72 http://www.davide-pedersoli.com/ArmiCatego...247&lang=en Not familiar enough with your firearms laws there to even have a hint about what's involved with a purchase of something like that.
