    Musket lock plate identification

Have not received it yet, it’s shape and size looks identical to a Tower/Enfield lock plate, there is no date stamped on it, just an anchor and the letters D and C, only got $26.54 tied up in it so no big deal if it’s not an...

    Reckon where I could find a P42 lock plate to swap out on this gun?

    It’s very possible concerning the lock, Gunny5821 mentioned shotgun bore dimensions, the ramrod on it is not a shotgun ramrod.

    Well caliper shows I’ve got an 80 caliber, never new 80’s were made. Is this a rare bird I’ve found?

    1871 BSA

    Just got home with it, it’s way bigger than a 58 cal, inside the bore of the muzzle measures almost 7/8” wide using a measuring tape, I’ll get my caliper out in the morning and see what it shows

    TFoley, since you mentioned the Mauser and fighting the Spanish thought I’d mention what my GrandUncle used to tell me, he was married to my Grandmothers sister, anyway Uncle Steve had an uncle (no relation to me) that was one of the Rough Riders that was with Teddy Roosevelt at San Juan Hill...

    Ten four, I was already aware of that, have you got any idea of a value on this firearm? And why was a percussion gun made in 1871 with centerfire rifles being made by then.

    All I know is that owner said he acquired it in a trade about 10 years ago from an old man that had it hanging over his fireplace and his kids didn’t want it, reckon what it’s worth? He wants $450 bottom dollar…

    Any info on this firearm would be greatly appreciated, I haven’t seen it in person, only the pictures i have posted here, it’s for sale not too far from me, don’t know if barrel is rifled or smooth bore, I thought by 1871 that percussion guns had ceased production and inventory left over...

    1871 BSA

    Looking for some knowledge about this 1871 BSA percussion musket, it’s for sale not too far from me and my research turns up nothing. I thought that by 1871 that all of the BSA’s left had been converted to center fire weapons such as the Snyder conversions. Since there are no barrel bands on...
