Description:
An interesting 19th century back action percussion muzzleloader, unmarked American Plains frifle with a bore measurement of about .430" and very progressive 19th century strong rifling. Possibly a common caliber of the 19th century of .40cal. The 32" round barrel has sights that may have been changed at one time, and the breech area has a couple of dents where a proof mark may have been removed, as often rifle barrels were imported from England during the 19th century. The lock has no markings and the set triggers work well. The Stock is a dark colored hardwood that may have had added finishes at one time. The opposite side of the lock is an inletted copper heart , and the furniture is a dark, mellow aged brass. Comes with a hardwood ramrod, and the brass trigger guard has a riveted/ added finger rest done period time. The  clean out chamber screw looks very old. This older rifle may clean up better. When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith  before  shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost.   We don’t have a web  site .I prefer money orders or a check.  Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns  affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of  older guns If you attempt to buy,  you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed.  Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only.  I’m easy to get along with. Thank You
