I had a Peiper rolling / droping block in 32 rf a few years back. Not high quality guns but decent.....made in Belgium. The calibre is possibly .380 long; they have a bore diam of around .375". You can check that with a vernier in the muzzle. I have a Ballard in .380 and I load for it using 38 spl cases and some clear shot BP substitute and press a .375 round ball into the case mouth. They shoot fine and are easy to make up. Probably a 300-350$ gun if its in decent shape. I would make sure its a CF gun and not a 38 rf before I bought it though. Cheers
Thanks its sure looks like a centerfire round, some hard to find info on it for sure. Its a very nice looking rifle even though redone someone took alot of money and time to get it done i would compare the bluing to a highwall winchester, same quality of finsh. An old fellow has it and cant remember when or where the rifle came from lol, bought a few of this guy and normally only quality stuff he has. Sounds like might be a nightmare to get ammo done up for it.
