Traditions Shenandoah .36 rifle

[garbear]

I may have found a traditions Shenandoah rifle in .36 locally. Seller says unfired. 200 roundball and a mold. Asking 500.00.

That doesn't seem like too bad of a deal compared to the Pedersoli Cub kit I just purchased.

If I were looking for a small bore, I'd be all over it. I love the .36 cal. Let us know if you snap it up. If you've never small game hunted with bp, you haven't lived.

You could offer the seller a bit less, but IMHO it's already a good buy.

I am planning paying asking price. I've been wanting a small caliber muzzleloader.

Good luck on getting the .36 along with the RB's and the mold. Good caliber for squirrel hunting. I have T/C Seneca in .36 caliber that came with a T/C maxi-ball mold.

Thank you. Seller offered to deliver next week let me look and decide. He lives in Tooele county I'm in south part of Utah county. Pretty sure I've decided to buy it.

It's always good to get a better price, but like has been said, $500 aint too bad. I'd do it. .36 has been my favorite bp cal. I always had good luck with 20gr fff, though most seem to load hotter. 5 rounds touching with that load at 25 yards, as far as I can head shoot a squirrel anyway.

[garbear]

I'm not going to haggle over price. Thanks for the load you using. Can't wait to learn what it likes. I'm hoping hunt cottontail rabbits with it.

[beagle74]

I never used it for cottontail, but now you have my juices flowing. One thing for sure, everything tastes better seasoned with black powder. I am sure you will enjoy. I used a tight heavy denim patch with a .350 home cast ball, lubed with mink oil. You are gonna have fun, for sure.

[Hanshi]

I'd call it a good deal from the get-go. I love the .36 and have one that's my go-to small game rifle. you'll love it!

[Good Cheer]

My Shenandoah had a ring in the barrel that the scuz seller somehow neglected to mention.
So it got rebored to a .46 to shoot revolver ball.
.36 or .46, I think you'll fall in love with it.
Think I'll refinish mine soon when the nights are long and frozen winds are howling.

Picked it up tonight. For some reason can't upload my pics. Came with roundball and roundball mold. Any one know the thread pitch for the ramrod? Need to buy a cleaning jag

[Good Cheer]

Hey I've still got the .36 jag that fits the rod on my Shenandoah that got rebored to .46.
Private message your address. Will drop it in the mail tomorrow.

Thank you. It arrived today. I really appreciate it.

That’s a great group, you will hone in the more you shoot it. The 36 cal is something I really want to learn. All my muzzleloaders are 45, I really enjoy them. The more you put into that rifle, the more you will get out of it. Keep us updated on your progress!
