Dusty Morningwood Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 This one's genesis is unclear. Either the builder used Dixie Tennessee Mountain Rifle hardware or started with a Dixie Rifle and made significant upgrades. The 41" barrel is a custom .50 with 1:66 twist. Bore is very good with some dust. The lock is similar to, but a little larger than the NOS Dixie lock I have. Set triggers definitely Dixie style. Stock is typical SMR, so hard to tell. Atypical of the Dixie rifles, this one has an oval patchbox and steel nosecap. Overall the rifle is in excellent condition. Negatives: The frizzen has been repaired and sparks well. Rifle comes with spare frizzen already hardened and fitted to lock. (Some photos show rifle before I replaced missing frizzen spring). Small crack at lock screw. Weighs in at about 9 lbs. $800 + Shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
