Picked this little thing up the other day. I believe the coin dates from 1838-1861-ish. Hopefully someone will know for sure. I do not think this rifle has been converted. I think it has been percussion all along.
Unmarked. Where do y'all think it was built? Was advertised as .40 cal. Actual measurement = .356 bore is VG+ with DEEP grooves!
You can tell it's been repaired and added-on-to over the years. Never been a fan of faux striping, but I think they kept it classy on this one. Looking forward to shooting it after repairs.
