Re-acquired muzzleloader

[scooter3844]

Anyone able to identify this for me and tell me more about it. Gave this to friend a long time ago to get him started. His buddy gave it to me for letting him hunt my private ground. It’s a win for me and funny I got it back.

Looks like a Lyman deer stalker model.

 

[poker]

Not a Lyman as its made in Italy. Possibly FIE, Armi, or maybe Pietti

 

[bubba.50]

Lyman/Investarm ‘Sporterised Hawken’.

 

[30coupe]

Investarm is located in Marcheno, Italy, so I'd say Bubba 50 got it right. Looks like a nice hunting rifle at any rate.

If it's an Investarm, the barrel should be stamped somewhere with Investarm's "maker's mark" ( the letter I ).

I was looking to hard at your thumb to see what kind of gun it is.

Lymans are made in Italy by Investarms.

Yeah was processing my deer in the dark, well right at dark, and got bit. 4 stitches later came home and finished her up.

Super-glue, man.

One of the Italian rifle imports, obviously. It looks to be a nice rifle, as many are, and should shoot very well.

I suspected as much. Got a couple of those merit badges myself. Had my wife stitch me up with monofiliment once after cutting a large barbed hook out of my thigh. I was not going to let that ruin my outing.

Got a hook in my hands twice thanks to my dog Spot running around, but do tell me, how does a man get a hoof in the thigh. I know its off topic but I gots to know.

Walk up on a spooky gelding?!

I just re-read the post, and what TX-GRIZ actually said was: "...a large barbed hook out of my thigh..."
Seems that the horse never never actually left the barn for this caper.

Good! I foolishly gave a friend a Tenn. Mt. rifle in the 1980's, which I thought I didn't want. He never used it, and I got more interested in ML as we got older. He gave it back to me recently and I couldn't be more happy! A true friend indeed!

I figured that but I could also tell you how to get a hoof in the thigh...also how to get one in the kneecap riding up behind a bitchy little mare. Apparently she had a beef with my gelding. Similarly off topic... the carbine looks like the Interarms that Cabelas sold for a number of years. I had one in .58 and like a fool traded it for something I can’t even remember. It was a dandy woods carbine for black timber elk hunting.

Interesting - I also had a .58 cal percussion model 120 B by Investarms. It was factory-made using a 15/16" octagon barrel with shallow wide grooves for rifling, so a conical was most accurate. http://www.investarm.com/media/img/120b.jpg
