My old man has a 30 caliber? BP at the house that is missing a wedge. Where would I look to find one that may fit it? It is old, but other than that I have no information on it other than it is a cap lock.

track of the wolf has three pages of wedge keys and pins. Scroll down to gun parts, then down to wedge keys

Thanks yall. I was wrong, a .30 cal will slide fall down the barrel, a .32 cal won't (or would this mean it is a .30 cal designed to be shot patched round balls??). I only had metallic cartridges to judge by. It only has about 8 pellets in the butt storage and I don't have a way to measure them, yet.

You should slug the bore to get the actual diameter. TOTW also sells a variety of special size roundballs. Using cartridge bullets to measure means little, esp. since their diameters are widely variable.
