Seen this on FB. The extra fat ram rod makes me think it's a shotgun.

This one looks like a strait up plains rifle.
Maybe the gun is huge, maybe the guy is little.

Always a chance the gun is a prop from the photographer, although this photograph appears to be taken in the field. A free range photograph possibly.

Yeah that's true.
It’s the real thing. It’s a well documented and detail photographed Hawken. It belonged to Tom Tobin.
That’s Tom in the photo. He purchased the rifle at the Hawken shop in 1844.
