It's a sidelock with a24 inch barrel, 1 in 48" twist, and came in .50 & .54, and was also offeredas a youth model. It has non-adjustable sights, andhasa hooked breech & a unique front barrel attachment method. The frontsling studunscrews to release the front of the barrel instead of employinga wedge pin, and there's a curved washer directly under the stud.They camewith either a brown or black stock.
I have a youth model and it'salways hadvery reliable ignition, and it has a nicely blued lockplate.
In new condition, this model should still be worth about $100. But the accuracy is somewhat limited by the short, medium twist barrel. It's a light handyrifle that weighs about 5.5 lbs.


They also kick like a young mule, and don't let mosture get anywhere near it or it won't fire..
