Frame, stock and barrel or just barrel? Wood or composite, regular or TH, what kind recoil pad, etc... what kind of use and powder/bullet loads were used? Trigger job or factory trigger? All makes a big difference in price. 10

Gun shot real good with t/c shock wave bullets in 200 and 250 gr. I used 2 pyrodex pellets with both bullets. I also used 70 gr. of lose pyrodex with a 240 gr 44 cast bullet in a green sabot as a plinking load it shot real good at 50 yards. Im wondering if i may be better off to part the rifle out barrel, frame, stock. I believe its had about 200 rds down the barrel tks ken

Odinbreaker is about right. There is a swapin/sellin forum here and that might be a good start. If you want to move the whole thing try Modern Muzzleloader classified forum. I'm doing a 700ML conversion and putting a .45 pacnor on my Savage MLII now or I'd send a PM. 10 ga
