What do you guys know about them ?? I am thinking about getting myself a old "style" percussion and they are the site with the largest variaty I have seen.
I am planing on getting the M1863 Zouave made by Armi Sport they sell for 475$ as my first ML. Its 58 Caliber and I plan on using .575 Mine Ball's like Dixie suggests for hunting.
Goex only though. If I am going to be shooting a Black powder rifle I want to smell the sulfur in the air
What do you all think of this as a general purpose hunting rifle to go after anything that walks North America (assuming I ever get the chance to hunt everything) ??
PS Next one I get after this one will be a Cook and Brother Carbine by Euro Arms its also a 58cal percussion side lock. What do you think about that one too ??

I have a Dixie Cub 40 caliber rifle and that thing is death on Fox and coyote, and looks great. I also have a Dixie Tennessee Rifle, 32 caliber, made in Japan of all places, and it is a gorgeous piece, and shoots great with Hornady swaged balls and .015" patch over 20 grains FFF.

Dimitri, Lymans are well made rifles, I had a great plains rifle for 6 years, sold to my best freind, he still useing it with great results.
Vince, If you could get a gun to use "beans and boiled eggs, that would be deadly on both ends :(:(
