Someone asked me to identify my rifle, but it has no stampings or engravings on it at all, except for engravings on a facet of the hexagonal breach plug. I'm going to try to upload a picture of it in macro:

Primer conversion?

A pic of the whole rifle. Sorry it's the best I can do with this camera right now. BTW I'm doing all of this posting from my cell phone, without the benefit of a computer, because I live so far out in the sticks the only internet access is using a dish with HughesNet, whom I refuse to deal with. I'm old so not having a computer is befitting. It also makes figuring out this phone quite difficult. I only just now figured out how to enable the flash function, which would have improved this picture. But it's a step in the right direction. is this enough to help anyone make an educated guess about what type of rifle this is? (62 caliber, one inch flat to flat on barrel.)

Yes I converted the nipple cap system to a 209 primer system. I ground off the cup on the hammer to make it look like it was made to operate the new system. The new system never fails to ignite the powder, which makes it a better gun even though it's less authentic, which I admit I don't really care about with this particular rifle.
