I picked this muzzleloader up last week from auction. It's a 50 caliber with a 32" barrel with a nice bore.. Just wondering if anyone has an opinion on what I have. I'm guessing it is a one off custom build? There is no maker's name on the barrel but has AEP015 stamped in it. The front sight appears hand made and possibly the rear peep sight. I think the trigger guard is also hand made. I have never seen a lock plate this style so wondering if it is also hand made. While not built by a master builder, whoever built it didn't do too bad of a job.

Very interesting rifle for sure. Not bad at all actually. I do hope it shoots accurately for you. Could very well be a good shooting ML.

The rear sight has my interest up. Can you post a picture of the front and rear of it so we can get a better idea of what it looks like?
 
It is unique and I've never seen anything like it before. Something about it smells a lot like tomato sauce & oregano as if some of the parts may once have could have come off something from Italy. It looks good and well made, just weird is all. If a parts rifle someone did a bang-up job of putting all those parts together to make a rifle that may surprise you with it's accuracy.
