    Springfield maybe?

    I suspect a parts gun, it looks like a later trapdoor lock plate, maybe a trapdoor Springfield stock with a muzzle loading barrel. https://www.ssfirearms.com/proddetail.asp?prod=W15534&cat=94

    Ever let one go That you Should have Kept? (p1853 Enfield)

    Every time I think 'I should have kept ......' I think about the fact I don't have time to shoot what I still have. There's been one or two that I probably should have bought but didn't.

    Musket caps on Amazon.

    Swiss 38 cal. target rifle

    TC Renegade 50 cal conical size??

    .500, just at bore size, wiping between shots. 30-1 may be too hard to bump up to groove size when fired, 40-1 or softer may be better. The Greenhill formula suggests the 1-48 twist may require a lighter bullet than 400 grains. You might also check out the modern muzzleloader forum under...
