Muley I did not see his link. But did see a question he asked me and thought it might be rude not to answer. So I am glad it was discovered what model it is. I had never seen a "Plains Rifle" but I would still guess it shoots well with a .535 roundball and around 90 grains of powder. At least that is where I would be looking.. if the Plains Rifle was mine.
A Plains Rifle was new to me too. I agree it's probably the same as a the Trade rifle barrel.
Companies take a lot of liberties. It doesn't have much in common with the original Plains rifles, but it's probably a better hunting gun for us, because we don't want to lug around a 10-11lb gun.
