Well, not even new. Dad bought this when I was in my early teens, I think. Maybe younger. I believe it was a kit gun and he did the finishing. Anyway, .45 caliber Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle.

Given the decades it's sat at Mom's house, it's in remarkable shape.

I have the rifle. I have .440 balls. I have patches. I've even got some FFFg Triple 7. I need #11 caps.

Who is the best LGS for BP supplies? Last time, I ended up having to visit 3 places to get my Dragoon running!

Nice rifle!

I recommend you go to SEC first. They have caps most of the time and they have the best price. If price is no concern then WGS carries them and they always seem to have them.

That's a pretty cool looking rifle.  From the pics, looks like it's in pretty good condition.

Did your dad shoot it much?  Any idea of why he bought it?  As in to use for hunting or other uses.  Or just to have (which is totally cool).  Just interesting to me the stories old guns have.
