Something to hunt buffalo. Actually, do you "hunt" buffalo or "shoot" buffalo?
ANYHOW....There's a place nearby with original Springfield trapdoors for around $700 that look okay but as I understand the trapdoor can't be loaded hot. They are also the long infantry model that I don't think was used much by folks on a horse. Then there is the Sharps and the Rolling Block. Is one easier to clean and maintain than the other? If anyone has owned or shot both- which do you prefer?
