I assume 50 cal...You should get $200 depending on where you live. If 54 cal, maybe a little more.

Hilljack from way back
Not too many years ago they sold in a blister-pack with accessories for 59 bucks at Wally-World.
Lol,, that blister pack where $69 here abouts.
Must have cost extra to ship'm this far up-north,
They are accurate and wood stocks exist on ebay frequently
$79.00 for mine. But that was in 1997. Still a great shooter. Got my first deer with it.
They are a great low budget rifle. Most are very accurate. They are going for $200, some times more.
I'm getting ready to strip and finish an old CVA wooden plainsman stock that's been laying around the shop for years to restock mine. Everything fits right in place.
A friend brought one over to the house to learn about flintlocks a few years ago. Being a bit of a flintlock snob/builder and having owned some pitiful sparking TCs in the past I wasn't expecting much. I was wrong, that little rifle sparked like crazy, the ignition was fast and it shot just about a cloverleaf at 50 yards.
I bought one at Walmart for $49.97 years ago. I used the barrel, .50 cal., to turn my Traditions .32 Squirrel Rifle into a handy, short barreled deer rifle. Barrel dropped right in without modification, and it is very accurate. Before my Dad passed, he killed his one and only muzzleloader buck with it. Off-hand at 75 yards he put three Buffalo Ball-ets thru the center of an old hub cap, and said it was a "Straight shooting rifle!". I kept the tang and lock for spares as they are identical to Traditions and CVA parts, and tossed the plastic stock in the garbage. Still got it to this day.
I have .36 bobcat and picked u a .44 SMOOTHBORE for it here on the forum. Have yet to mess with it though. The .36 shoots a very odd combo. .350 ball and the lightest cotton I could find satyrated in pine scented bore butter. NOTHING else will get a group. May pick up a .54 barrel for it.
I didn't know that made that one in .36. Learn something new on here every day. I also didn't know they made the CVA Squirrel rifle in .36 until I stumbled across one and bought it a couple years ago. I had only seen them in .32. Odd about the loading on yours. Some are just finicky I guess.
I was about ready to get rebored at 15 years
