I`m thinking to buy Armi Sports Sharps carbine model 1859.
It uses paper cartridges, but which kind of paper to use?, cigarette paper comes to mind as it has to burn off from the chamber.
How about the gun itself? How accurate it can be?, how well made etc.

cigarette paper perm papers nitrated or Charlie Hahns tube.
Charlies tubes are the easiest way to go.
If you are going new I would go w/ a Shiloh or Pedersoli befor an Armi sport.
I have a armi sport 59 that I bought new. It took a lot of work to get it to function properly. :roll:
