The factory polished blued barrel is .50 caliber, 15/16" octagon, 28" length. The bore is bright, clean, and ready to go, with crisp rifling grooves. We recommend our .490" round ball, .015" patch, over a charge of 70 grains of GOEX FFg black powder. The barrel is fitted with a blued bead front sight and elevation and windage adjustable rear sight. The breech end of the barrel has a few light scratches in the bluing.
The walnut stock has been factory finished with a satin varnish. The stock has only a few minor handling marks. The brass furniture is just starting to mellow. The buttstock is fitted with a large oval capbox. The beaver tail cheek piece is shaped for a right hand shooter.
The hooked breech allows the barrel to be easily dismounted for cleaning without risk of wetting the stock with water containing black powder residue. To dismount the barrel, put the lock on half cock, withdraw the ramrod, drift the key past the underlug, and the barrel can be lifted from the barrel channel for ease of cleaning. Remove the nipple and place the breech end of the barrel in a bucket of soapy water. Run a wet patch down and up the bore, the pumping action will flush all the fouling from the barrel. Once the bore is clean, run a dry patch down the bore to pick up any moisture followed by an oily patch. Dry and oil the exterior then reassemble the rifle.
The color case hardened percussion lock is factory engraved. The breech is fitted with a 6-.75mm threaded stainless steel nipple. Order our #RLGP-S if you need a spare. Double lever double set triggers are well adjusted, to fire set or unset. When the rear trigger is set (latched), the front trigger has a hair-trigger release. The adjustment screw between the triggers allows even finer or coarser adjustment, as desired. Or, turn the screw fully inboard, to disable the set trigger feature, when hunting in very cold weather.
