SOLD .50 Percussion Dixie Tennessee Mountain Rifle w/new Flintlock

[BigSkyRambler]

This is a used, but not abused percussion Dixie Tennessee Mountain Rifle in .50. It is in overall good plus condition. The 41.25" browned barrel has some finish loss and high edge wear. Bore has a light grain and a ring of light pitting near muzzle. I see thus on lots of production guns and wonder if this is a machining flaw? In any event, I do not see the bore as a problem. The stock has a few bumps and scratches. See photos. LOP is 13.75". Has a 1901 Indian Head coin in grease hole. Rifle weighs about 9.5 lbs. Comes with an as new Dixie flintlock. You will need a vent liner for conversion. $650 + Shipping.

I wonder if coning the muzzle would eliminate that flaw near the end of the barrel?

Dunno. Might. But since this seems to be a common area of pitting in production guns I think a machining flaw that promotes it.

Regarding the pitting near the muzzle, Joe Woods 50 cal coning tool should be able remedy that. And, you’ll have a rifle that doesn’t need a short starter anymore as a bonus.
