What's the twist? Round ball or bullet?

Neat gun! Not legal for hunting here in Oregon, as big game requires a .45 caliber or larger.

Vall, I just checked the Oregon regs and the minimum is .40 or larger for black bear, deer, pronghorn and cougar. So this would work. I thought .40 was the minimum as I have a .40 flintlock poor boy on order from Roy Stroh.

Barbarossa, that really is a swell rifle. Can't wait to hear how she performs at the range with that aperture rear and semi-schuetzen butt plate.
