SOLD .45cal percussion Minuteman Kentucky rifle

[dogfood]

Functional in it's present state, but could use a bit of sprucing up. American made from back in the day by Hopkins and Allen.
Barrel is 15/16" and 39" long. Bore has sharp and defined lands and grooves showing very little wear.
Barrel detaches from breech tang in a pretty nifty fashion making it a bit easier to deal with when cleaning. Pins go straight through the barrel, not through staples.
I bought this as a project, intent on adding the estucheons myself, but I got too much else on the go for the foreseeable future.
$400+ shipping
Feel free to message me with any questions.
Thanks for looking,
dgfd

Not sure what year yours is from, but this is an ad/listing from my 1968 Shooter’s Bible, showing that this was not an inexpensive rifle back in the day.

I remember wanting one of those in the worst way when I was a kid. Dang. I want it bad but my money is already committed to another. ☹

Numrich Arms is just around the corner from me. They had quite the gunstore back in the 1980's.

Is that a false breech plug?
