The .50 caliber by 41-1/2" straight octagon barrel has been nicely browned to blend with the stock, while standing in contrast to the color case hardened lock. The .50 caliber bore is rifled with a slow twist for a tightly patched round ball. The bore is bright and has been well maintained. Order our #BALL-490 round balls, and #OX-10-50-W patches. Seat the ball and lubricated patch into the muzzle, using our #ST-7 ball starter. The nickel silver blade front sight, is dovetailed 2-1/2" behind the muzzle. The flat top rear sight is dovetailed 10" ahead of the breech.
The black walnut stock is stained to a reddish brown and nicely contrasts the brass furniture and color case hardened percussion. Used, it has a few handling marks, from firing and cleaning. The brass patchbox is correctly mounted using steel screws, as original. All of the brass has started to age to a mellow patina with some scattered darker speckles starting to develop. Our bottom view reveals the brass toeplate and triggerguard of the rifle. Held in position by two screws the toeplate has been fit to protect the toe against damage during the loading and cleaning process. Ahead the triggerguard is retained by two screws as well. The ramrod is held in place by two forward and one entry ramrod pipe. The factory ramrod has a tip with 10-32 threads for loading and cleaning accessories. A brass muzzle cap has also been installed on the gun to protect the end grain of the wood below the muzzle. Each lock bolt is engaged by its own escutcheon plate. Note that no cheek has been formed on the rifle; the stock has been left plain and unadorned.
The percussion lock is unmarked. Color case hardened in mottled colors, this lock is mated to a drum with a 1/4-28 threaded nipple. Double lever double set triggers are correctly tuned to fire set or unset. You may cock the lock, or set the triggers, in any sequence. A tiny adjustment screw, between the two triggers, controls trigger release in the set position. The set trigger allows for a very light trigger release, ideal for match shooting.
