Beautiful rifle !!.....but actually what I had in mind was one of the short barrel .58 percussions. I was looking at one when at a gun show yesterday and it just seemed to peak my interest. The guy had a great looking one that looked like it would be a lot of fun......but he just had it on his table to look at as he wouldn't sell it ! I have had several of the Zouave versions over the years, but the shorter version just looked like fun.
