Anybody familiar with Mowrey black powder rifles?

Question

I have a .50 caliber Bicentennial Model 606 Hex-barreled rifle made by Mowrey Gun Works in Olney, TX (it doesn't exist anymore - I know the guy who owned it). Anyway, I bought it at a garage sale about 15 years ago, and it's been gathering dust in my safe. It needs some repairs to the trigger mechanism and the nipple threads are stripped out. I plan to get it fixed, but I was wondering where I can find parts. Also, once it's repaired, where can I find the recommendations for powder loads and such? This is my first foray into black powder.

Answer 1

it seems to me if you know the guy who owned it that maybe you should ask him
