Does anyone have any info, Parts, or rifles made by Rocky Mountain Arms Corp. in the late 60s to 1970s? I have one in 22 cal that has a turret on the breech to load it with a #4 buckshot and blackpowder &^ it is primed with the old paper caps from capguns. Any info or parts would be greatly appreciated.

Seems like I remember "Guns and Ammo" article about that rifle.

The rifle you note was made by RMAC in the
early 70's and used a small charge of black powder
in the rotating "turret" breech. The stock proportions and
overall size suggest it was geared toward a younger shooter.
I presently have one, but the tiny, extremely
thin (and fragile) mainspring broke and attempts to
locate an original replacement have been futile.
The ignition system consists of a small metal cap which is
placed over a paper "cap pistol" "primer" in the breech.
Wish I could tell you how it shot, but its premature failure
put a quick halt to that option.
