I’m not a gunsmith and wouldn’t dare to fire it without a gunsmith looking at it but I think it’s in pretty good condition. Who would yall recommend around Shelby county to measure to see what caliber it is and to see if it’s safe to shoot? If it’s okay to shoot I would also need to buy all the components needed to shoot it.

Those guys could probably answer a lot of your questions and then some. North South Skirmishers Association event. “It’s enough to make a man feel sour. Burning minutes every day by the hour.
