Several little things in general. They are a lighter 45-70 so recoil with a given load will be heavier. For a hunting gun or plinker it should be a lot of fun for the money. Being a single shot OAL isn't as important nor is crimp. bore riding paper patched bullets loaded to almost 3" should be no problem. The shorter barrel makes for a shorter sight radius. Though a tang sight like a marbles or lyman could be fitted to gain some more sight radius. They are easy to mount a scope on and bases and rings are available. You may want to add a hammer extension with the scope also.
What uses do you see for this rifle? How much use? The single shot isn't a big disadvantage, with practice they can be loaded pretty quickly. It should be useable with any loads smokless or Black Powder and either type bullets.
I've heard discouraging news about it having a heavy trigger.
