Chet - thanks, I will have to see if I can find anyone who has one or can order one. Tradition's site only lists the 50 cal. But is a neat looking rifle. I like it even better than the Crockett.

this link has it for only 235.00 The picture is nickel and composite model. Mine is wood and blued. The description says wood and blued, so I don't know why the picture is different. I know in the 50 cal model they offer nickel, camo and a couple others. I checked bass pro and they want 314.00 now. I guess they went up since last year. Good luck

I think this is what he is looking for: http://www.cainsoutdoor.com/shop/large.asp It is however a little expensive at $380.
I'm sure there are some a little cheaper then this.

RE: Need honest opinions from those with experience
About 25 years ago I built a 32 caliber halfstock percussion rifle. I used a drum and nipple system on a Montana Rifle BarrelCo. barrel. It is 3/4 inch across the flats and 35 inches long. I used a Dixie Tennessee mountain rifle percussion lock and a stock blank from Doc Hopkins Long Rifle Shop. Over the years I have put many squirrels in thefreezer with that little rifle. It never gave a minutes trouble. I use 25gr of GOEX 3-f behind a .310 round ball and is a delite to shoot.
A couple of years ago I converted it to flint ignition with a L&R drop in replacement for the Dixie lock. If I find a limb or something to rest the rifle on I can still get a head shot on a 25 yard squrirrel.
When I retired, my buddies at work gave me a Crockett .32 as a gift and I have shot it quite a bit and have had no problems with it. It also is a great shooter. Mine likes 35gr of 3-f behind a .310 rb.
