How long is the barrel?

 

[cachelapoudre]

25 1/2 inch barrel length. I believe this is the barrel for the buggy model.

Thanks for reminding me to add that in the description.

I know this is an old post. But would it happen to still be available?

 

[cachelapoudre]

Yes, it is still available.

Any idea if it will fit on a 50 caliber receiver? It’s attached the same way with a taper pin. I recently acquired one.

 

[nit wit]

Yes, it is still available.

EVERY For sale ad must have forum ID and date written on a sheet of paper clearly visible in at least one picture! NO EXCEPTIONS!!!

I pretty certain the receivers are all the same regardless of caliber. I just cleaned up an old H&A buggy rifle to sale and the barrel I believe was 20 maybe 21 inches long.

Breech plug is 5/8 inch which is standard for the H&A receivers.

What size cap does the nipple take? Possibly a 12?

I believe he is referring to the threads of the nipple usually when old nipple hole gets stripped.you use an oversized to repair it

Mine takes a #11 CCI. A Remington #10 also. A CCI #10 is too small. Haven’t tried Remington 11s. Nipple can be changed out to your preference.

I was hoping it took a #12 cap. Got thousands of em but not many guns that use em!

The person I got my H&A included 3 extra nipples. Since he built it back in the early 70s, he couldn’t remember why he had them. I think it doesn’t make a difference but mine is 50 caliber
