I picked up this old bonehill snider, it was in good shootable condition, but unfortunately, in its past the barrels muzzle was damaged and accuracy was poor.
I ordered a green mountain barrel, for a muzzle loader with the intention of cutting out the breech plug and then rebarreling the snider with it.

I ordered a bit of wood to replace the original stock.
