Even the other cap n ball guns that state they are .44 cal use either a .451 or .454" round ball. I believe the measured the bore by the lands instead of the grooves. The Rugers use a .457" round ball or .454-.458" soft lead bullet. Some speak of being able to use .452" Colt lead bullets with success, but most do not.

Looks cherry. If the price is right, buy it. If you don't like it, you won't have much trouble selling it.

I basically get to make an offer. What is reasonable (fair)?

To buy or not to buy.........

Pripyat: Get at least one of them. Or both if you can. The most fun out of a pistol you will ever have. Get ready for a hell of a ride after that. You'll never wan't to get off the Old Army coaster after those first few shots! Good luck!

I just may have to... Oh garsh at actually needing more components. At least percussion caps and black powder are easier to come across than .22 bullets and varget.

BTW, I got a PM regarding their value so that question has been answered.
