What type of rifle are you looking for? Historically built in Missouri or historically used in the settling/founding of Missouri?

well guys ..  after several hours talking to Mr.Steve Zihn ..i broke down and sent him a check .
he was very informative and great sense of humor :)
and answered all of my questions....
so I've commissioned Mr Zihn to build me a poor boy barn rifle in iron.    .40 caliber.
(the waiting is already killing me :) )
