Excellent price for the package and saves you a looooooong wait. The sights alone have to be getting close to $1000 these days.

Yeah. I’m still waiting on a 50-90 from March 2020. I think those sights are about $800 now. It’s crazy 🤣
I have a Quigley ordered as well but it will be a little while. This one would be a great buy but I don’t want someone else’s initials on a gun I pay 4+ grand for personally.

That is why I order from Bill Goodman. The wait is usually a few months. You will love the .50-90. I got my .50-90 Business rifle from Bill and it is a hoot to shoot. Recoil is not bad. Here is a video of me shooting it with a cast 670 gr paper patch bullets over 100 grs of Goex FFg youtu.be/z_qrZkscXnE |

I load them myself. I have not found anywhere that loads paper patch for sale. You can get loaded black powder loads from Buffalo Arms but it is expensive.

Maybe Leadheads used to sell the bullets but I haven’t seen any in a while to buy and load. I’ll keep my eyes open for a good mold. Right now, brass is scarce 🤷🏻♂️ |

Montana Bullet Works was providing paper patch bullets but their website says they aren’t right now and not sure when or if they will be again

Buffalo Arms sells paper patch bullets that you will have to patch but they are a good way to try out different ones before buying a mold
