1853 3 band Tower Enfield (reproduction or Original?)

[TA6319]

The chamber on mine is fairly roomy, so I am able to use 24 gauge Magtech brass with a .600 round ball.
I load with black powder with semolina on top.
I can hit a torso sized target at 100 yards every time, which given the sights and my eyes is not bad.
