I'm new to the forum and new to rolling block and black powder cartridge rifles. I have a beater 1863 Sharps carbine in 50/70 with a nice bore and a Springfield 1871 RB in 50-70 with a nice bore and I picked up a custom RB in 45-70 that I have a few questions about. 1st does it have a #5 receiver? When the breech block is closed there is a little daylight between it in the chamber, is that a problem? I plan to shoot some black powder through it, but would also like to shoot some modern ammo too, I that a good Idea or should I just stick to black powder?
