Default 32 or 36 cal

I am looking to buy a 32 or 36 caliber muzzleloader sidelock rifle. Anyone have any for sale?

Thanks

I don't have one for sale but I bought a CVA bobcat 36 cal from The Possible's shop two year ago that woorks fine they still advertise them. If you have a TC rifle another option would be a Green Mountain barrel. If you could go that way I would get a 40 cal doesn't foul as quick.

Thanks,
I found out that CVA doesn't make sidelocks any more and also no parts. Do you know of any parts makers?

No but Dixie caries some parts I have had a CVA side lock for 20 years and never needed parts. The nipples are the same as traditions 6x1mm. Traditions makes the croket 32 and a kentucky full sstock 36 cal also

I have a Traditions side lock in .32 that is a tack driver. They made a Crocket and a Deerhunter model. I use the .32 for squirrel (10 grains 3F) and rabbit (10-15 grains). This is about as cheap as .22LR if you cast your own ball. These will throw a ball 100 yards with about an 8" drop with a 20 grain load but I keep my shots under 50 yards for most hunting 25 being even surer. The Deerhunter series isn't fancy just nicely finished and came with daylight sights and a nice price.
