This rifle was only test fired and stored the rest of the time. It is in .50 caliber and of course bore is perfect! Has some marks from storage 425.00 plus ship

This gun would be great for hunting

I’m not familiar with this particular model. What is the LOP on this rifle, to the front trigger, and is that a hook breech or a solid patent breech?

Thank you!

LOP is 14.5" breech is not hooked solid patent
Thank you, @Mulebrain . I am small by today’s standards and even 14” is a stretch for me. I’m afraid that one is longer than I can handle.

That is a very nice looking rifle at a very attractive price, though, and some taller fellow will be mighty pleased with it!

What kind of rifling does this have? My other navy arms has 3 groove shallow rifling for a Minnie style bullet.

Also what twist rate is is? What is the barrel measurement across the flats?


Thanks
 
Val Forgett also has his Hawken bored in 58cal. He famously took it as his "Heavy Rifle" to Africa, his back up was a Buffalo Hunter in 58.

He worked up MASSIVE powder loads behind a 610gr minie, i believe later called the Stake Buster minie.

He took a Hippp, Elephant, Lion, Zebra, and more with muzzleloading rifles. I love reading the story, in Lymans Black Powder Manual.
