Well I never had a 36 caliber rifle. I ran across a nice(Plain Jane) used 36 caliber rifle with a LH Percussion lock. It looks like a pretty decent rifle, so I bought it. I think I got a good price on the rifle, but I really do not know for sure. I think it would cost around $1500 to have one built just like it, but I do not know that for sure, but it was a price that I was quoted. Here are some pictures of the rifle.

I have never shot a 36 caliber rifle. Mr . Smith said it has a 1in48 twist-so I am assuming that would make a good round ball barrel. He said it was deep cut rifling.

SO what kind of load shoot I shoot in this puppy. I will definitely be shooting Black Powder only. Either 2F or 3F. So which one do I want?? What size ball?? And Patch?? OK guys come on through, I am depending on ya. Tom.
