Title: Original muzzleloader
Post by: Randy1944 on September 23, 2009, 10:05:07 PM

I am new to this site and wanted to ask you for your help with my gun.  I asked on other sites and was referred to this site.  I bought this gun in 1972 and have had it stored since.  It has a 34 inch hex barrel and gun is 51 inches long overall.  Barrel is 1 3/16 and .54 caliber.  Gun weights 13 pounds.  It is a percussion with a back action lock.  Maple half stock.  Iron hardware except for silver? patchbox.  Lead stock cap.  Breech hook barrel.  I have had the gun all apart and can not find any names or marks to identify this gun.  Gun is in really good shape.   It shows its age with "character" marks.  I have pictures, but I am not smart enough to get them to this site.  Any and all information would be appreciated.  Thank you     Randy1944       East Tennessee

Randy, try this site, others who once considered themselves computer dummies have found they can post pictures easily: http://tinypic.com/

Good luck. It really helps to have photos.
