This Lyman Trade Rifle is .50. Externally, it is probably 95%. Very good blue and a few minor bumps and bruises on stock. The bore will need work. It is uniformly pitted end to end. I improved it with some vigorous scrubbing with pieces of a Scotchbrite Pad. Additional lapping with a minie' style bullet with decreasing grit polishing media an option. Filling bore with Evaporust will remove high spots that cause drag. In any event, I think it will clean up as a good conical shooter. PRBs, probably require swabbing between shots. Priced for sweat equity you need to put into it. $300 SHIPPED.
