WITHDRAWN WTS: Hopkins & Allen .50 rifle

No longer available

Overall good shape. Missing the hammer, but I think these can use a CVA/Jukar hammer. The radius of the hammer is 1.25" (from center of the tumbler stud to the nipple. Rather odd marking on the barrel, as the .50 caliber marking is stamped over something else... But a .490 ball does slide down like a true .50" bore, so it's correct.

$175 shipped to the eastern US. Add $20 west of the Mississippi. PayPal Friend or Zelle is best.

You can pretty clearly see the original '45' stamp on the barrel so, any idea who might've done the re-bore?

No idea. Also, I vaguely recall reading somewhere (years ago) that some of these barrels were stamped wrong at the factory, and overstamped with the correct caliber before being sold. I can't find any reference to such a thread, however. It could be that someone had this bored out to .50
