AAH-714 Fox River Rifle, .50 caliber 24" barrel, percussion, beech, blued steel trim, used, by Traditions . . . $149.00
In used condition, this small rifle has only a few handling marks in the stock and marks around the nipple from firing. This rifle is very light weight at only 5.6 pounds, ideal game hunting or for a youngster when loaded with a modest charge. The flat rubber buttplate is ribbed for firm grip. Fitted with sling swivels, for your quick detachable mounts, the stock appears to be beech finished as walnut.
The .54 caliber 24" barrel is rifled with a 1 in 48" twist. We recommend a .530" diameter ball, .015" thick patch, over a modest charge of black powder. The barrel is fitted with a flat top rear sight dovetailed 6-1/2" ahead of the breech. A blued steel blade front sight is dovetailed behind the muzzle.
The small percussion lock is finished to a deep blue, matching the barrel and furniture. The upper edge of the lock plate has some speckles of rust. Internally the lock plate is clean and bright. The single trigger is fitted to a large bow triggerguard, to allow the use of gloved fingers during cold weather hunting. The buttstock and forearm are fitted with mounts for quick detachable sling swivel mounts.
Trigger reach is 14" for an adult male. Easily shortened, the buttplate end is flat, where it mates the buttplate. Any gun shop that installs shotgun recoil pads can remove this buttplate, shorten it to fit your child, and dress the edge of the rubber buttplate to match the wood. However, it may be wise to allow
a child to grow to fit the rifle, instead
