Is that a Figthron rifle? It looks quite a bit like one I have.

I have a 50 cal smoothbore with a Josh Golcher backaction lock. My father found it while building a pigpen in the 1950’s. Golcher was in business in Philadelphia asa locksmith from 1810-1860. I restocked it and have shot it in competition. Guys in Old Saratoga BP club named it “SOOEY”!
