Hi all; I joined this site to learn more of my great uncle's plains rifle he carried across the plains to California in the late 1860's. It's an unusual gun with a 38 1/4" barrel measured from the end to the joint where it screws against the plug. It has a 1" octogonal barrel with a 50 cal hexagonal bore (measured between flats) with a 1 in 48 twist. The trigger assy. has a set trigger. It is a cap and ball short stock rifle. I've taken it completely apart and also researched for hours. I haven't been able to learn it's make as I couldn't find any obvious markings or sure comparisons with any of the known guns. I could send a photo if it was allowed.
Thanks
Rod
