where can you get a cheap .32 cal BP. I have looked at Ped's and a bit out of my price range.
You can by a 'Kit' gun thru Traditions....looks like a fun project !!!

Not sure what that had to do with the Traditions BP barrel in the kit...no breach plug on it.Quote:

Mike, I was just in the Vaughn store last week and they had none in stock, but would order. I think I will keep searching local and wait til BP opens in 2015 in Kanata. Damn.
I guess if you don't have a .32 gun...it's not a bad idea to wait :)
You can always give TVM a call and have them build one for you. If you order a flintlock there are no border issues.

They're on my wish list!
HA
how much trouble is it to find one in Canada Traditions will not ship to Canada and any of the so called dealers Ive contacted in my area won't import anyone have a .32 cal percussion squirrel rifle they'd part with?
Are these balls .010 larger than the bore?????? That would make 'em hard to load if using a patch. Educate me.............DanielQuote:

Do they leave anything in the bore???? I tried saboted bullets in .50 cal. Hawken and could not get the "crud" out of the bore after that. Even a PRB was hard to load after that. No more "plastic" down MY barrels. LOL...................DanielQuote:
