Don,
Read Krakow Kid's above. If you're planning on shooting the gun you'll want to take the barrels off to clean it after shooting. Purchase a Dixie Gun Works catalogue ($5). Not only do they sell every kind of replacement part imagineable (including percussion nipples) but the manual (at least my 2004 addition) has a 52 page General Information section that gives all types of information about vintage guns, including load data, build dates, tons of good stuff. Other sources for parts are Track of the Wolf, and The Possible Shop. Wads can be inexpensively purchased from Circle Fly Wads.
