I really wanted a 3-band rifle a while back.

Call the guys at Cimmaron Firearms and talk to them- they service what they sell. According to them, the .56-50 gives the least amount of trouble during feeding and operation. The problem with it is, you'll have to find another feller that wants that piece if you ever go to sell it. That's the only reason I didn't "pull the trigger" on one- I suspect that I'd never be able to get rid of it if I ever had to- not that I would (I don't trade or sell my stuff), but it just didn't make good economic sense to me no matter how I cut it.
