Hi,
This might be of interest.

edit:- If you want to strip the rifle DO NOT undo the bolt that goes through the wood that has a large washer on either side. It does not hold the barrel in place and is only there to support the wood at the breech.
The base plug is pinned. This must be removed before it can be extracted.
The barrel/action is a hook breech and can be removed after the barrel bands have been removed. Don't forget to pull the hammer back to full cock first so the locking/firing pin is clear of the breech.

Well, as of right now I'm not able to buy a SHOOTING BP anything, but as an avid shooter of Swiss schtuff I'd like to find a top-rate M1878 Vetterli, with a view to flonging off a gun that I rarely use [fat chance, that] and converting it to centre-fire.

Apart from a beautiful but VERY sad de-act, I've not seen one around that is good enough for my rather high standard requirement, so, if anyone here knows any better, I'd be really happy to hear from you about it.

let me know how you get on, as you say they do have some nice stuff
A friend has just purchased a very nice M1889 from Worldwide Arms, they may be worth a try

I like that. To be honest I know nothing about them so any advice about what to buy would be gratefully accepted.

There are quite a few knowledgeable BP shooters here - what do you want to know?

Just got Muzzle loading pistol on my FAC. I like the look of the Colt 1860 but is that the model to buy and what make is best? I'll be shooting 25 yards
