George Kopp rifle

[Clint]

This rifle came to my shop with a broken trigger spring and a broken main spring. Both  springs are renewed and the owner gave permission to post. The rifle carries a 41" barrel and is right about 48 cal. 7/8" on the flats and a little heavy. The stock is nice curly maple which I gather G Kopp was known for. The lock is original percussion and there is a very faint oval shaped stamping ,all that is readable is "Pittsburg". The lock has no half cock notch and set triggers that have to be set before the lock can be cocked, what fun! The butt plate is small at 3-1/2' and the cheek side of the stock has a low raised cheek piece. The pictures of the brass are not great but the stock is light colored and the brass is pretty brown so they blend in.
