Looking for recommendations for a 32 or 36 caliber mz for small game.  Either flintlock or percussion cap.

If a .32 will suit your needs & you are looking at low cost models, I would suggest the Traditions  Crockett.  Good lil rifle for the $ and quite accurate for a production rifle.  They will Easily shoot 3 shot cloverleafs at 25 yards with little work.

Dittos on the crockett, but if you have trouble seeing the fixed sights the Traditions 32 Deerhunter may be a better choice. The Deerhunter has the adjustable glowing sights and is tapped for scope mounts.

Hopkins & Allen reproduction Underhammers are available in .36 in several barrel lengths from http://underhammers.com/
And the even less traditional CVA Bobcat .36 from Midsouth Shooters Supply. :evil:  :-D

CVA Bobcat in .36cal?????  I had several Bobcats and all were in .50cal.  Its my understanding that all the sidelocks were discontinued in the CVA line.

CVA has indeed abandoned traditional style rifles, but before they did soem Babcats in .36 were built. I'm almost positive there are still some available at MidSouth.
