Parts gun. Has a military trigger guard. Post a picture of that part and I can probably tell you what exact part is.

I will repeat this here. Halbach & Sons used that same side plate and lock style. These styles are considered secondary martial types, and many were privately purchased. They are fairly common and show a great degree in variety of furnishings.

All those breech plugs are made wrong. (Sarcasm)

I triple dog dare you to go get that nest right now 😈

You gets what you pays for

I would be mad if my “defarbed” bess look like that. Just being honest here.
