I am looking for information on a rifle I saw the other day. It was a breech loading Falling block black powder rifle. The shooter took a paper cartridge with the powder and bullet, inserted it in the breech, and when you closed the action, it cut off part of the paper cartridge to expose the charge.
Can you tell me what kind of rifle and what caliber operated in a like manner?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.[:D]

  Just to know that used prices on BP guns generally tend to be about 50% of new ones. Don't ask me why they don't hold their value better but it just seems to be the way it is.
