Hello Gentlemen,
I picked this over the weekend mainly to study it a bit as I've never had a rifle this long. I did find the letters J S on the barrel. Is that significant? Stock has seen better days, as has the lock, but at one time must have really been a beauty. Any info or direction / links would be most appreciated.
Best regards,
Bob

Any evidence it was originally a fullstock

What is the barrel length and what area did you buy it in? Has a little Jamestown School
Look to it.

Jabez Stevens, Jamestown, NC, 1860-ish.

Jamestown N.C. makes sense as I bought it about 20 miles from there from a collection of a man who was into local Guilford Co. historical items. I believe I measured the length of barrel at 43 inches last night. Thank you all for all the comments and information.
Best regards, Bob
