This is a neat little .45 halfstock flintlock rifle made by Hopkins and Allen. Interestingly, their name has been overstamped on barrel over something that appears to end with a W. Its 25.25" barrel has a really SLOW twist. I got 1/4 turn in 24" on all three trys. The rifle appears to be unfired. Bore is pristine and clean. LOP is 13.5". Rifle weighs about 7 lbs. Handy little rifle. It has some issues, so drastically cutting price. First and foremost, the internals need work. Upon pulling trigger, it catches on the half cock nitch every time. Second, the escutcheons cover the pin to remove barrel. Easily remedied by taking them out, drilling holes and allowing pin to be driven out without removing them. $300 + Shipping.
