Well, I got this one recently and so far, its turned out to be a great buy. I've already oiled and buffed years of dust and gunk off the stock so shes now smooth and the curl of the maple pops through nicely. The furniture is all steel with the ramrod thimbles and nose cap left raw but highly polished.
Double set triggers and a Siler lock make for a solid set up. The barrel I will strip and refinish, its just not to my liking. Who ever did the barrel, let it get thick rust scale and I don't like that texture. If that's all I have to do to the rifle, I am one hell of a happy camper!
It is a .50cal with slow twist. When I get some time I will measure the twist and try to figure out the maker as there is no makers mark.
Barrel length is 36" and the barrel width is 7/8" which makes for a super light weight 50 caliber long rifle! Excellent balance that is not barrel heavy.
