Hey I just aquired this 50 cal “Kentucky” rifle. Actually a decent piece of wood on it….one piece !
No stampings anywhere ? Defarbed I guess…..a few things I’ve noticed that are “different” barrel pins are actually drilled through barrel (is this a normal/common practice?)
Ram rod pipes are just round cylinders, no attachment points or fin ? I assume they were glued in place ?
Breech plug has a hexagon “allen” type hole in it so it simply plugs onto the tang ?
Lock is pretty crude with what looks like a replacement hammer screw and simply stamped “warranted”
Gun was dismantled and i bought it as is…..I’m thinking an early spanish import ? Not sure really….
Anybody recognise this manufacturer?
