I acquired this rifle I wish it could talk would love some input or insight on it if you all have any info.
1862 Tower lock
Looks like its original stock that has been cut down
Barrel looks to be a smooth bore and mics .575
"W. Adams" stamped on the back of the lock by main spring
If you want any specific pictures let me know.
Be interested in people input on what everyone thinks this rifle original was and its history

Could well be a smoothbore. After the War, many muskets were cut down in this way, rifling reamed out and sold as shotguns.
