Time to build a single shot
I have a .45 caliber octagon barrel blank sitting around. I think its a badger....1 1/4" at the shank and 1" at the muzzle, 18 twist, its a heavy one.

What I don't have is an action, I'm thinking 45/70 or 45/90.

I guess what I'm asking is what action should I use? And does anyone have a suitable action they want to sell?

Ballard, Hi Wall, or '74, '75, or '77 Sharps if you want to shoot black powder cartridge rifle silhouette. C. Sharps sells actions for all four Rolling block if you are looking for lowest cost for black powder cartridge rifle silhouette.

Got a 7mm rolling block that I have no time to build, and new wood for it too. You can have it at the usual exorbitant price....
