Well you learn something new everyday they say.......I indeed have! For one I always imagined that rifles never fired solely ball, thought they were always principally for conical bullets, then ball also if wished.

Secondly I didnt know cartridge rifles used paper cases at all.....thought they were always intended for brass cases!

So, thanks a million!

Any opinions on this gun? price good? a nice piece if in full working order? I like it.....I will be over in Blighty soon.

I contacted the original smiths in Belfast, and they can tell me about it via their historical records!
