The 15/16" octagon barrel is 8" long and finished with a deep blue color with bright spots near the muzzle from normal shooting and cleaning. The .50 caliber bore is rifled with six equal lands and grooves, ideal for patched round ball. The bore is bright, clean, and has been well maintained. The top flat of the barrel is marked - LYMAN - MIDDLEFIELD - CONN -. The off flats are marked with the proof marks and PLAINS PISTOL .50. Iron front and rear sights are dovetail mounted to the barrel.
The stock is finished to a medium tan with a few small handling marks. The grip rail of the brass triggerguard is mounted with two blued steel screws. The forend is fitted with a blued steel forend cap, with integral ramrod hole. A 3/8" diameter ramrod serves this pistol. Sold separately order our #PL-7-50, pistol loading rod with .50 caliber jag and ball starter, which is ideal for use with this pistol. The left side view shows the sideplate with single lock bolt. We note a small crack running from the sideplate up to the barrel channel.
The hooked breech, and single wedge key, allow the barrel to be dismounted for easy cleaning. Use our #NW-160 nipple wrench, sold separately, to remove the stainless steel nipple, when flushing the barrel. The percussion lock is color case hardened and has a strong mainspring. A stainless steel nipple for No. 11 percussion cap is fitted in the bolster. The single trigger provides a smooth release of the lock.
This will make a fine companion piece for your .50 caliber percussion Hawken, Great Plains, or Mountain rifle! Order it for a ten day visual inspection. You will be delighted.
