This is a nice rifle but a bit of a mystery. Has some southern attributes with a Slocum, Baldwin & Co., New Orleans lock. The inscription on the barrel seems to be 'D. Buie For P. Quin'. I am trying to link it to New Orleans but the only D. Buie gunsmith I find is Daniel Buie in Tennessee and later in Texas. .49 caliber rifled.

I do not have any info on the maker, but I had the opportunity to purchase a group of parts from a family who had a member of their family pass. The fellow lived in Celina, Tn. In the parts I purchased was a set of triggers that look exactly like the ones on the rifle in your photo's. The triggers are unique, and I have kept them for many years.

Please post a good photo of the triggers. Thanks

I suspect the New Orleans lock was a store brand, stamped that way by request of that hardware. Lots of import locks, and I am sure domestic as well, were sold with whatever business bought enough to warrant the manufactor putting their names on the locks.

I can't comment on the gun, but , for what it is worth, there was a " P. Quin" living in St Helena Parish, Louisiana in the 1850 and 1860 census ..... could he have been the owner???

Awesome rifle, thanks for sharing. Haven't seen a beaver tail cheek rest with the inlay in it like that.
