replicas are usually exact copys of what they are replicating so it is probably safe to say that if it looks like your copy it is more than likely a DA. I would love to see some pics of the fire arm.

Rogers and Spencer I surmise

the second lone in the OP..."I want a muzzle loading rifle accurate enough to shoot at the range to 300 yards (for fun)," reading is fundemental

It may not be high to you but it is to me.

I never meant to imply that a .45-70 is considered as a Primative weapon my reply was more directed to Mykael. as far as the 300 yard ranges a long rifle will be better suited for long ranges you might want to look at some of the military copys of rifled bore muzzleloaders that use a conical...

and that is he way it should be no one should say anything over the inter net that they would not say to a person face to face.

There are so many random answers here I dont trust any of them except the ones that line up with the info that Driftwood provided. but thats just me. YMMV smokeless powder should never be used in any gun that is designated as a black powder only fire arm. doing otherwise is just plum...

I will take one!

I want a mountain howitzer!:)

Ya must be talking about the fools that would be too chicken poo to say any thing like that if they were talking to you face to face. Real enthusiasts appreciate the videos only internet trolls post that kind of garbage and youtube is full of internet trolls.

you need the crap beat out of you for not taking him up on that offer:D btw it is real easy to tell if it is a single or double pull the trigger with the hammer down if it will cycle the hammer then it is a double if the hammer will not budge then it is a single action.

you could buy a loading stand nearly as cheaply as buying materials to make one from scratch. get a loading press while you are at it that will keep the wear and tear off the loading ram on the pistol especially if you are pressing .454" balls I like using the .454" balls it helps to...

I dont know what a refinished converted model would go for but an original in fair condition would go for about $4,000.00 $6,000.00

Mykael That is why I said practice at more realistic ranges like 50 and 100 yards you can make 300 yard shots with a .50" hawken with ample amounts of practice.and the right rainbow trajectory:D not a realistic range for trying to take game but only for the purpose of doing it for fun 45-70...

Duelist Keep up the good work and dont worry about those trolls you can set it up to where you can delete the trolls replys. however I dont have any problem going over there and stooping to those fools level and give them both barrels. I am sure there a few others here that feel the same way...

I would start out with something inexpensive to see if you are going to stick with it. go to some pawn shops around your area and see what they have to offer Shine a light down the bore to make sure it is in good condition you are looking for erosion in the breech area and any heavy pitting...

It sounds like you and me are in the same boat Scott.

I look at it like this different tools are required for different types of projects you wouldn't want to try to engrave metal with wood working chisels . and you cant remove a 1/2" bolt with a 3/8" wrench. but I don't consider different size rounds to be inferior to another just like a 3/8"...

I am sure there were a lot less states allowing rifles for turkey when I was hunting on a regular basis and I am sure more states will start allowing it as time goes by. it used to be unlawful to hunt with cross bows in most states now just about every state allows the use of crossbows.

Ya 50 bucks is highway robbery. I would charge less to get more business.
