REDUCED A little slow on my edits. Cal. is actually .42, with a bore averaging .426/.438. This is a real attractive ca. 1850s halfstock target rifle. Its 32" barrel has been rebored to .42 in modern times. Bore is minty bright! A .420 ball and .012 patch has been suggested for this bore. Twist is ca. 1:66. Finish is turning plumb. Rear sight is Winchester 96A and front is a Lyman globe with post. Walnut stock is in very good condition,with the exception of some minor chips around lock. The areas at front of the lock are from hammer rubbing. Two chips are near rear of lock. Has a poured pewter nosecap, cheekpiece and brass furniture and inlays. Lock, barrel and brass all have some really well executed engraving. Rear trigger has to be set to cock. Hammer has some play, but a thin copper washer put it right. The nipple is brass and my wrenches are too big to get it out without making a mess of it. It will not accept 10 or 11 caps and should be replaced. Very nice quality antique rifle almost ready for the range. Asking $725 SHIPPED. More photos upon request
