Ok, it's not a debate on guns and I don't want it to turn into one. I would just like to know if any of you could give me any suggestions (other than a gun show) on where to find a Musket rifle (not a replica, I mean a real ball firing black powder rifle). The only ones I can find are the modern day black powder rifle which loads from the rear with a single cartridge rather than a ball and powder and ram rod. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I would try to get in contact with some Civil War buffs or re-enactors via the internet. They could probably help you more than us FF nerds could.

its a little tough to find a muzzle loader rifle these days (obviously) but if you go on google, im sure you can find a collectors shop somewhat near you, same if you look in the yellow pages, and if you go on ebay, you may find one as well. guns cant be shipped through the mail with the firing mechanism though, so youd have to get that shipped seperate.
