Really nice.I ordered a .32 from Flint and Musket...my first BP!

One can never have enough BP guns. Excellent for stress relief and far cheaper than medicine

This one.

Excellent; I have one of those, just with the nickel plated finish. The only problem is to find .315 to .319 balls for it. When in need I slightly squash a normal .311 ball to fit the cylinders.

Give some feedback on what the action is like. I found mine rather stiff to cock.

Thanks.As soon as I have my permits and equipment in place I will test her and let you know.

Did Sands at Flint & musket have any of the right balls?

The permit shouldn't take to long if you have an existing firearm license. I believe you can get it even faster by visiting the Explosives guys in Pretoria. As I'm sure you're itching to give it a try....
