The rear barrel sight is blued steel, flip up w/elevator marked to 800 yards. Rifle also fitted with a vernier tang sight. Ignition is percussion, using musket size caps. Color casehardened receiver, lock, trigger guard, buttplate, and lever. Double set triggers. Weighs in at 10 3/4 lbs.

Dusty Morningwood Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 Just now, Chert Rock Chuck said: .45-70 Govt? .45 paper cartridge. I believe Pedersoli makes a reusable brass case for these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallaby Damned Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Paper cartridges are super easy to make from cigarette rolling papers. Had one of these in .54cal I let go years ago. Fun to shoot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheatin Charlie Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 4 hours ago, Dusty Morningwood said: What did conversion cost? It cost $300 back in 2014. But well worth it. Yours would probably have to be done to keep it running smooth for multiple shots and not leaking and burning your left arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
