This rifle followed me home from the Colorado Gun Collectors show in Denver a couple of weeks ago. I have been casting around the internet trying to find out some background on it to no avail.
Here's hoping that someone here has some knowledge of these rifles. It did not follow me alone, there is a second rifle that will be the subject of a separate post later.
.40 caliber, Made in Belgium. It looks to have been fired many years ago, though not much. The bore is shiny. There's a small spot on the stock near the nipple that looks like flash/powder burn.
I was told by the mule trader that sold it to me that it is a pre-Dixe rifle. That I understand could be true. It's previous owner was the president of a muzzle loading group in the Denver area.
