Skinner, thanks for your input.

Here is the final product for Dad.
I added a montage photo of the father generations on both sides of the family along with grand kids.

I'd stick to cast bullets since that is what the barrel is designed for. No jacketed bullets in those days and the barrel steel is soft enough that the jackets will wear the bore excessively. For powder try Triple 7 and cleaning will not be as big a deal. Contrary to what a lot of people believe Pyrodex is corrosive . Triple 7 is no more corrosive than smokeless .
