Saw her on consignment at Dixon's for $450.
Thought about a day and picked her up.
No warning, stamped Cal 54, and a 32xxx serial number.
The bore looked good, but patching showed orange, but no pits and she patches smooth. Another " nick of time" save!
The frizzen shows little use and the lock is tight. The unset pull is very good.
A .54 ball rifle is a useful increase in WHOMP. Now that our October antlerless season is also a muzzleloader bear... If I decide to take a flinter out, the .54 gets the nod.
Funny that excepting my long rifle, and my P53, all my rifles ar TCs.
