For the big bore lover, a Hawken style rifle to impress your friends and make giant holes in things.
This rifle has, using my best measurements, a 36-inch 1 1/8-inch straight 75 caliber barrel. Bore is mostly shiny with one spot near the muzzle with some light spotting. I don't have tools for anything over 69 caliber, so it may clean up some with a proper fitting jag. I quadruple-patched my 69 cal jag but could not get a tight enough fit to gauge the twist. It looks 1 in 50-ish, and the lands and grooves look like a Hoppy Hopkins barrel I had in a 50 cal, which was 1 in 54 or so.
Stock has some nice figure but a couple small bumps. Inletting is good but not perfect. Gun is iron-mounted and everything has been browned. Lock is marked "S" internally and is fitted with a fly. Double triggers that only fire when set and set trigger must be engaged to cock the lock. The front trigger has no trigger bar to contact the sear, it only releases the set trigger -so the function appears to be by design. Drum is threaded 1/4-28 and I fitted a new musket nipple, which fits center of the cup in the hammer. I will include a new hot-shot nipple for #11 as well.
These guns are normally front heavy, and basically heavy overall, but this is less so given the large bore and somewhat thinner barrel walls.
Overall weight is 9 pounds 4 ounces.
LOP is 14 inches, overall is 52 1/2 inches.
Asking $1700 shipped in the lower 48. Check or money order. PM for any questions or details.
