I bought a Traditions Frontier Scout rifle at a gun shop. It is a .45 and uses percussion caps. I think it is a shorter gun for kids and short people; the LOP is perfect for me.
Boy is it fun! My very first shot I centered a target about the size of a coke can bottom at 30 yards! But then I couldn't hit the target any more. Figured out that the little screw holding the front sight in place had come loose. I am shooting lead balls out of it right now but eventually want to go to cylindrical bullets and shoot a deer with it.
I already have a modern, in line muzzleloader but this thing is more FUN!
Now I will have to design a powderhorn and powdermeasure and all the other doo-dads!
