The .54 caliber 28" long barrel is rifled with eight equal lands and grooves, and one turn in 48" twist, for patched round ball. The bore is bright, but we note minor pitting running its entire length. Order our #BALL-530 pure lead .530" balls, and #OX-15-50-W lubed .015" patches. The front sight is a blued steel bead. The rear sight is mounted 8-1/4" ahead of the breech and is click adjustable for both windage and elevation. The right and left oblique flats are stamped with the factory information near the breech. The barrel bluing has a few light scratches and speckling in the finish.
Stocked in beech, the stock is very plain, stained and finished to a medium brown. The stock has many handling marks from field use. The traditional brass forend cap finishes the front, and serves in lieu of a ramrod entry pipe. Note the brass capbox in the butt of the rifle, the deep hollow will hold your shooting supplies. An unbreakable brown synthetic ramrod is fitted snugly under the barrel. This ramrod has a 10-32 threaded tip for your cleaning jag, sold separately. We note the ramrod is 3/4" short of the muzzle. Our back view shows the simplicity of this rifle, with no cheek piece. Both lock bolts are mounted through blued steel escutcheons.
The simple hooked breech, which allows for easy cleaning. Simply press out the wedge key, using thumb pressure, and remove the ramrod. Then lift the muzzle end, to unhook the breech plug from its tang. Remove the nipple, and insert the breech end into a bucket of hot soapy water, for easy cleaning. Rinse, dry, and oil.
The percussion lock is factory color case hardened, with a strong mainspring for fast lock time. This lock has a fly detent in the tumbler, for smooth action with the double lever double set triggers. The double lever double set triggers are correctly adjusted to allow the triggers to be set, or the lock to be cocked, in any sequence. A stainless steel nipple for No. 11 percussion caps is fitted in the drum, which is well supported by the lock plate.
