Taking the flintlock out this weekend got me thinking again about getting a "special occasion" rifle. The flintlock is fun, but it's not original. I've thought about getting an original flintlock, but really I think I would prefer something a little more modern, a cartridge gun so it's easier to shoot and let others try as well.
Nothing like an M1, something more 1800s, like a trap door Springfield or Remington rolling block.
Black powder cartridge is OK, and modern ammo isn't required. It must be something I can load though, so those oddball never find 'em big rimfires are of zero interest.
Other than the two I've mentioned, what else am I not thinking of?
