okie dokie, here's my tip curtis "poor boy"- .45, 36" gm straight barrel, brass furniture, stock is "plain maple" (i swear, that's what tip called it!), all the iron will stay in-the-white, i did the staining and finish.  larry, we gotta make smoke and fire soon! :)

This was a little 4 bore double rifle



And from the business end, a .530 ball for comparison



Smaller guns to come later

Not if I use a .980 ball in it.  Then one of those round cleaning patches works pretty good.

No, this is not a Tip gun.

Gorgeous wood on that .45!
I wish my budget would support my lust for beautifully stocked muzzleloaders.
Can't complain, though. Have some really nice ones.
