To repeat the weekly comment; we need some photos. If not already done so, register with photobucket (free) and post via a link with it.

Back to your original question; from your description, the gun could be either a percussion enfield or a snider conversion of the percussion gun. That makes a lot of difference. Also condition makes a significant difference

cheers mooncoon

Haha - we could make it an EE and price check rule - no asking price or posting wts without a very good description or pictures


(Edit - that was a little sarcastic, but still)

P.S. Whit un crow punch? Sounds like first nations martial arts to me ..... alright... I'm just really bored.

I think he means a Broad Arrow. It DOES look like a crow's footprint if you haven't had your daily SRD.

Likely a Snider-Enfield: LOT of fun to shoot. Calibre will be .577" bore, you can use a .58 Minie bullet and 60 grains of FFg, being that we don't have any RFG-2 lying around (shot it all off at the Zulus).
