« on: April 25, 2022, 12:42:38 AM »
Full stock, no nose cap, smooth bore, oct to round barrel, no sig or proof marks. Stock shape similar to a committee of safety Gun. Rear sight, no bayonet lug. Replaced lock with a percussion one. Should have got more pics

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

Sideplate looks suspiciously French. Some of the rest of the parts, too. If this gun s for sale, it might be prudent to grab it up if it is priced fairly, (or lower). But, Mike is probably correct; it looks like a NE gun.
