This rifle is 48 inches long. Love to find out how old it is and anything someone may know about this model black powder rifle.
Thanks
Ron

Ron Morgan said:Thanks for your response. Could it have been a cadet or a training rifle. Nothing on it looks like it was cut down. Do you know when the 1857 model was made in what years? I will take a picture of it this weekend when I am at the location which has the rifle.
Thanks
Ron

Not even close. Wrong caliber(.69) shorter barrel, different front band, no Maynard ignition. Totally different animal.
