Does it have a swamped barrel?

Hello is this a Original or a recent build? Any idea who build it? Names on barrel?

Non-swamped

Just a guess, I’d say it was built in the 80’s.
No names and no markings.
The lock has been gone through by Cabin Creek.

I see you stated the rifle has an overall length of 58" but do you know what the exact barrel length might be? Also is the lead easy to remove from that rear dovetail and is the peep sight removeable ? Just asking hypotheticals here as I am questioning buying a .40 caliber rifle as my first muzzleloader.

The barrel is 42”, the lead would just need to be heated to remove. The peep sight can be removed by using a piece of string or thread(it’s on with an adhesive thats non-permanent).

I dont have the best eyesight in the world so the peep sight would be a huge help. I know this may sound strange but could you get a photo of the front sight picture through the rear peep sight ? I have looked through some peeps before that I just cant see squat through and some that I can. If you do decide to take a photo could you PM it to me. If not understandable this is an unusual request im sure.

I’ll try and have it up for you in just a bit.

Trying to get my camera to focus through the pep sight is quite the fun time.
I’ll see if I can get my good camera out tomorrow and get a better photo for you.
I will say that looking through the pep sight and lining up on the front blade, the sight makes a small black dot that does the trick on aiming.

Even with the blur it does seem to fill out quite well and give a wide picture through the rear peep.
