I just recently aquired a 1904 british made, African Trade Musket. It is .75 cal and safe and ready to shoot. I just need to get the stuff to shoot it and then it is time to have fun.

It was purchased off a man from W. Virginia at a gun show and shipped to me by my Brother-in-law.

I'll try to post pics later.

I converted one of my 1878/81 Swiss Vetterli rifles to centerfire and shoot it regularly. I bought a custom bullet mold to make clones of the original heel type bullets. Lee had the dies, but no factory crimp die, so I ordered one custom made from them. You must have it to crimp the heel type bullets. I make cases out of 8mm Lebel brass.
