Musket short stock turned down barrel back action lock set triggers ok who made
« on: January 04, 2012, 03:03:18 AM »
I bought it at an estate sale and there are no names or marks except for RCL on the lock. I did find one that looks to be a copy of the gun and it was on a page of Hawken's guns

Almost impossible to give any id information without good clear photos. This link will take you to a tutorial on how to place photos on the forum.

Nice clean later percussion halfstock, average quality, could have been made anywhere.  It has no clues or signatures I can see that would help us attribute it.

Has a bit of a fish belly...(maybe just camera angle??)  might indicate a Northern tier gun??

I'd say RB had some old parts from a late era percussion gun and restocked them so he could shoot it. By the looks of it RB could still be alive or not very long gone.
