This caliber is not available through most retail outlets at the moment. This one is virtually flawless, with the most minor handling marks as would come from factory. Absolutely unfired.

Broached rifling .004" deep with a 1 in 18" twist. 6 lands - .450 and 6 grooves - .458. Pristine, mirror bright bore, with light factory oil. Front sight is a blued tunnel sight with insert. The rear barrel sight is blued steel, flip up w/elevator marked to 800 yards. Rifle also fitted with a vernier tang sight. Ignition is percussion, using musket size caps. Color casehardened receiver, lock, trigger guard, buttplate, and lever. Double set triggers. Weighs in at 10 3/4 lbs. These rifles, when available, retail around $1700 without the upgraded sights. A bargain at $1300 + Shipping.

Couldn't see any date codes and was interested in whether this was late enough to have the newer Pedersoli block mods ( o-ring) or if it has perhaps been modified via Charlie Hahn or Larry Flees?

What year did Pedersoli make the change? This is a 4000 range SN.

There should be two letters in a box stamped somewhere. That is the date code.

Just pull the block and if there's an 0-ring under the gas-check plate it's the newer version.

Does it have the oring? Heard the breach face can erode away

 

[BigSkyRambler]

No O Ring on face of breechblock. A good cleaning is the answer.
