now that we have a Muzzleloader forum does anyone know where to find .32s?
amateurhour:
So I've spent the better part of two days on track of the wolf, dixie guns, buds gun shop, midway usa, muzzleloaders supply, every big box chain, etc. trying to find a .32 or .36 affordable blackpowder rifle in flintlock or caplock.
It looks like Traditions no longer offers the Crockett .32 percussion or the deerhunter .32 perc or flint.
From what I gather one of the only places that still makes straight and swamped 32 barrels altogether is rice as green mountain and others have stopped.
Deer creek still has a few .36 kits in flint and percussion but I really wanted .32 for a better squirrel rifle.
Any ideas? Anyone know where to find one?
edit: I'm looking sub $500 range here. I don't need a pristine $2000 reproduction sidelock. : )

I thought I just saw the Crocket Rifle .32 on sale a Dixie. Had a sales flyer from them, but just tossed it out. Sorry about that ! Bob

TVM has a poor boy kit for $675 in .32. They offer it in a 13/16" barrel which will be really heavy. You can always do a barrel upgrade for more cash. An "A" weight 32 barrel would be sweet.
All the barrel makers will make a .32 barrel, except colerain which only go to .36

Yeah they don't have it in stock though. No one does. It's not even available from Traditions website.

The guy at Sitting Fox Muzzleloaders told me Rice was the only one still doing a mass production .32 barrel. Weird.
$675 is a little more than I'd like to go. $500 is kind of my hard limit for my next kit.
