32 Cal
Hello all. I recently acquired a rifle and am fairly sure i know what i bought...but not 100%.
I do not have a smart phone, so pictures would have to be taken by my wife, sent to my email, downloaded to my computer, and finally get here. If ya really need them. I can get them. Just take a bit.
It looks like a Traditions Pennsylvania rifle, but the ones i am finding on-line have a barrel length of 33 1/2". The barrel on this one is 40 1/4". The patch box, ornate brass inlays match in design but not number. The ones online have two inlays in the stock under the barrel, mine has three. I assume this is just a barrel/stock length difference.
Barrel is marked as follows.
lock side.... R. 50CL 1-66"
non lock side..... Traditions Deer River CT USA Made in Spain 288022
So..... this is a Traditions marked rifle, cap lock ignition, .50 cal, looks like what i am seeing on line as a Pennsylvania rifle except its longer and has no model name on it.
Fairly sure it is a Penn. but not 100% sure.
Thanks all,
